The stately palm was bowed and bent,
Aśokas from the ground were rent,
And towering Sáls and light bamboos,
And trees with flowers of varied hues,
With loveliest creepers wreathed and crowned,
Shook, reeled, and fell upon the ground.
In plain words: The monkeys bend and pull down all kinds of trees, such as palms, ashokas, sal trees and bamboos, along with flowering vines.
