प्रत्यक्षम् directly, ते to you, यथा as, प्रवदामि I am speaking, अयम् this, जाम्बवान् Jambavan, नीलः Nila, महाकपिः great monkey, सुहोत्रश्च Suhotra also, एते them, त्वाम् you, नानुयुञ्जेयुः हि will not following you, अहम् I am, न हि not, ते you, इमे these, सर्वे all, सामदानादिभिः through the policy of appeasement, गुणैः by merit, दण्डेन by punishment, त्वया by you, सुग्रीवात् from Sugriva, अपकर्षितुम् to avert, न शक्याः not possible.

'This I am telling you openly and frankly. These monkeys are not going to be obedient to you. Neither Jambavan, nor Nila nor the great monkey Suhotra nor even myself would subscribe to this opinion (of staying in the cave) and follow you. It is not possible for you to keep us or these monkeys from Sugriva through the policy of appeasement like Sama, Dana, Bheda or even Danda (persuasion, giving gifts, creating differences or imposing punishment).
