Sanskrit Original
अमितबलपराक्रमा भवन्तो विपुलगुणेषु कुलेषु च प्रसूताः। मनुजपतिसुतां यथा लभध्वं तदधिगुणं पुरुषार्थमारभध्वम्।।
amitabalaparākramā bhavantō vipulaguṇēṣu kulēṣu ca prasūtāḥ. manujapatisutāṅ yathā labhadhvaṅ tadadhiguṇaṅ puruṣārthamārabhadhvam৷৷
(Note:The Vindhya range and the several rivers mentioned here are not south of Kishkinda.The inconsistency is irreconcilable. Candidly speaking the geographical description is not at all factual. Some interpolator in the north (Kurukshetra as central region) has committed several anachronous inconsistencies betraying his ignorance of geography.) इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीय आदिकाव्ये किष्किन्दाकाण्डे एकचत्वारिंशस्सर्गः।। Thus ends the fortyfirst sarga in Kishkindakanda of the first epic, the Holy Ramayana composed by sage Valmiki.
