Verse 5

¹I want to hear more of Rama, whose deeds are astonishing, who has no end and no measure, and of what else the lord did. ²There was a certain ape named Dvivida, a friend of Naraka's, a minister of Sugriva and the brother of Mainda, and he was strong. ³To pay back what he owed his friend, that ape threw the country into ruin, setting fire to towns and villages and mines and cattle-stations and burning them down. ⁴Sometimes he tore up hills and ground whole districts to powder with them, and the Anarta country most of all, where Hari lived, who had killed his friend. ⁵Sometimes he stood in the middle of the sea and threw its water up with his arms and drowned the lands along the shore; he had the strength of ten thousand elephants.
