**Verse 112:** "Until my return, you must remain here, O Sugriva, with vigilance and without any carelessness."
**Verse 113:** "Hanuman, mounted on a beautiful, peaked chariot, shone brightly, like a radiant shrine on the summit of Mount Meru."
**Verse 114:** "He departed with utmost speed, adorned with a white canopy, and attended by waving chowries resembling flying swans."
**Verse 115:** "Surrounded by armies resembling those of the gods, with horses swift as the wind, and elephants like moving mountains, he proceeded."
**Verse 116:** "Thus, endowed with great power, and watched over by Rama and the others, he went forward, continuously traversing the path of the sun."
**Verse 117:** "The world is full of creatures of various kinds, enjoying excellent pleasures. But only a few among them engage in the pursuit of the ultimate truth, and attain supreme glory."
**Verse 118:** "Noble humans always remember the kindness shown to them by others. In this world, there is no moon, no Kubera, no sun, nor Indra, who can equal them."
