Return across the sea, the Madhuban feast
Leaving, Hanuman roars so mightily that the rakshasa women miscarry at the sound. He leaps back across the ocean and gives the monkeys his shout. Seeing him they rejoice as if born anew; his face is glad, his body glows, Ramachandra's work is done. They gather round him like gasping fish that find water, and set off for Raghunayak asking and telling the news. In Madhuban, with Angad's consent, they eat the honey and fruit, and beat the keepers who try to stop them. The keepers run to Sugriva crying that the prince has wrecked the grove, and he is glad: the Lord's work is done.
