स तया मालया वीरो हेमया हरियूथपः । सन्ध्यानुगतपर्यन्तः पयोधर इवाभवत् ॥ ४-१७-६

Vali, the chief hero of the monkeys, with his golden necklace appeared like the raincloud hallowed by the glowing twilight. [4-17-6]

ययातिमिव पुण्यान्ते देवलोकादिहच्युतम् । आदित्यमिव कालेन युगान्ते भुवि पातितम् ॥ ४-१७-१०
