The monarch, joy of Raghu’s line,
Gave largess to the Bráhmans, kine
And steeds unnumbered, wealth untold
Of robes and pearls and gems and gold.
A jewelled chain, whose lustre passed
The glory of the sun, he cast
About his friend Sugríva’s neck;
And, Angad Báli’s son to deck,
He gave a pair of armlets bright
With diamond and lazulite.
In plain words: King Rama gives generous gifts to the priests: cows, horses, clothes and jewels. He puts a dazzling jeweled chain on his friend Sugriva and gives bright armlets to Angad, son of Bali.
