Ushered into Kishkindha by Angada and others, Lakshmana beholds stately mansions and other curios on both sides of the main road and, hearing the sound of vocal music accompanied by the sound of various musical instruments as well as the sweet jingling of anklets etc., coming from the palace of Sugriva, twangs his bowstring. Hearing the twang of his bow, Sugriva dispatches Tara to him and the latter tries to pacify Lakshmana by apprising him of Sugriva having already sent his generalissimo Nila to collect all the money forces scattered here and there. His anger having been appeased to some extent by the news, he is led by Tara to the gyneceum and sees Sugriva.Recitation: 00: 00 - 11:25Translation : 11:30 - 29:29
