2   to   6.All   those   monkeys   who   were   enermous   in   size   like   Mount   Meru   and   Mandara   and   who resembled   the   mighty   elephants   in   rut,   took   counsel   among   themselves   to   decide   what   would be   condusive   to   the   fame   of   Rama   and   the   complesion   of   his   mission.   They   were proud   of   their   achievements   and   felt   a   great   urge   to   announce   their   success.   They   were   so happy   that   the   war   like   spirit   in   them   was   aroused.   Filled   with   gratitude   for   Rama   and   by   their enthusiasm   all   these   monkeys   marched   with   Hanuman   in   front   who   was   noted   for   his   strength, skill   and   knowledge   and   who   received   the   praise   of   all   beings.   they   then   rushed   from   the mount   Mahendra   with   great   speed   hiding   the   sky   with   their   huge   bodies.
