किष्किन्धाकाण्डम्/सर्गः_५६4.56.p11838

Sanskrit · 4.56.p11838

श्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे किष्किन्धाकाण्डे षट्पञ्चाशः सर्गः ॥४-५६॥ उपविष्टास्तु ते सर्वे यस्मिन् प्रायं गिरिस्थले। हरयो गृध्रराजश्च तं देशमुपचक्रमे॥ १॥

English · Meaning

The fifty-sixth canto in the revered Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Kiṣkindhā Kāṇḍa. ॥4-56॥ All those had sat on that mountain place where they had undertaken a fast unto death. The monkeys and the vulture-king then approached that place. The transmitted wording has the singular verb “approached” with the coordinated subject “the monkeys and the vulture-king”; it may reflect a collective construction, though the agreement is not fully regular.
