4.22.18

tad vālivacanāc chāntaḥ kurvan yuktam atandritaḥ
jagrāha so 'bhyanujñāto mālāṃ tāṃ caiva kāñcanīm

The loving speech Sugríva heard.
And all his heart with woe was stirred.
Remorse and gentle pity stole
Each thought of triumph from his soul:
Thus fades the light when Ráhu mars
The glory of the Lord of Stars.
All angry thoughts were staved and stilled
And kindly love his bosom filled.
His brother's word the chief obeyed
And took the chain as Báli prayed.
On little Angad standing nigh
The dying hero fixed his eye,
And, ready from this world to part,
Spoke the fond utterance of his heart:

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1870, The Rámáyan of Válmíki, translated into English verse
