Pleased with Sugriva's response, Rama praised him saying, "Just as radiance to the Sun, rain to Varuna and coolness to the moon is natural, so is your magnanimity to your friends".Even as Rama was speaking there rose a cloud on the horizon veiling the Sun in a haze and obscuring the directions. As the earth and its mountains shuddered, out of that dust emerged the mightiest of monkeys whose mountainous bodies and countless numbers, seemed to cover every inch of the earth. They came leaping, jumping and roaring to surround their master. Many were their leaders like Susena, father of Tara, Kesari, father of Hanuman as well as Ruma's father. The list of leaders and their followers seemed endless and their staggering numbers never seemed to cease. Surveying them Sugriva asked his generals to make their troops comfortable and ready them for being reviewed.
