Questioned by Angada, Gaja and other leaders of monkey hordes proclaim each his own leaping capacity ranging in an increasing degree from ten Yojana's or eighty miles to ninety Yojanas or seven hundred and twenty miles. Jambavan in his turn submits that he can leap full one hundred Yojanas or eight hundred miles but is doubtful about his capacity to return. On Angada declaring the same thing, Jambavan submits that for a work which can be entrusted to a servant alone, the services of a ruler would be out of place, and encourages Hanuman to take up the gauntlet.Recitation: 00:00 - 05:54Translation: 05:58 - 14:45
