सर्गः ४
In which Rāma arrays Nīla, R̥ṣabha and rear guards, marches the shouting host to the shore, and halts to counsel crossing the shoreless sea
Rāma vows swift ruin and orders march — Rāma notes lucky midday omens and throbbing eye — Rāma posts Nīla vanguard with flank and rear guards — Rāma rides center on Hanumān with Lakṣmaṇa on Aṅgada — Sugrīva launches leaping roaring host southward — Lakṣmaṇa aboard Aṅgada reads victory omens — Army crosses Sahya Malaya eating honey breaking trees — Rāma climbs Mahēndra and beholds teeming ocean — Rāma camps on shore ordering crossing counsel — Monkeys gaze at wind-tossed jewelled monster sea
