अनृतं नोक्तपूर्वं मे वीर कृच्छ्रेऽपि तिष्टता | धर्मलोभपरीतेन न च वक्ष्ये कथञ्चन || ४-१४-१४
'O Sugriva, I have uttered no falsehood before for fear of deviation from righteousness although I was in distress, nor shall I utter any falsehood in any circumstances hereafter. [4-14-14]
'I shall fulfil my promise just as Indra ( who performed a hundred sacrifices ) helps production in the cornfield through timely rain. Give up your apprehension. [4-14-15]
