He spoke: and swift at Ráma’s hest
Up sprang the Vánars from their rest,
The mandate of the king obeyed
And sought the forest’s mighty shade.
Unrooted trees to earth they threw,
And to the sea the timber drew.
In plain words: At Rama's command, the monkey army jumps up and goes into the forest. They pull up trees and drag the wood to the sea.
