तैः by those, यथाक्रमम् in a proper order, कार्यार्थम् purpose, अर्धस्य of the purpose, मूलम् origin, विपृष्टः questioned, सः कपिः that monkey, हरीश्वरस्य सकाशात् a messsenger of the king of monkeys, सकाशात from his place, आगतः अस्मि I came, निवेदयामास he reported

At the very outset they questioned Hanuman manner in the usual about the place he came from and the purpose. Hanuman reported, 'I am Hanuman. I came as a messenger by the order of the king of monkeys'. इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीय आदिकाव्ये सुन्दरकाण्डे अष्टचत्वारिंशस्सर्गः।। Thus ends the fortyeigth sarga of Sundarakanda of the holy Ramayana, the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
