“The counsellor we now behold Of King Sugríva righteous-souled. His face I long have yearned to see, And now his envoy comes to me With sweetest words in courteous phrase Answer this mighty lord who slays His foemen, by Sugríva sent, This Vánar chief most eloquent.

In plain words: Rama tells Lakshman that this is the advisor of Sugriva, the good monkey king (Vanar means monkey-folk) Rama has wanted to meet. He asks Lakshman to reply kindly to this eloquent messenger.
