ଶ୍ରୀହନୁମଦଷ୍ଟୋତ୍ତରଶତନାମସ୍ତୋତ୍ରମ୍ (ପାଞ୍ଚରାତ୍ର)

The Pancharatra recension of the hundred and eight, and it is organised around the alliance rather than around the leap. Its early names are nearly all Sugriva's: minister to Sugriva; giver of the garland to Sugriva when he had beaten Vali; giver of good sense to Sugriva when he had forgotten what Rama did for him; partisan of Sugriva's better side; accomplisher of Rama's business. Before those comes the image the hymn turns on — the one who carried Rama and Rama's younger brother upon his two shoulders. Then the crossing: Mainaka embraced, the mother of serpents given her life, the shadow-catcher split open, the ocean reduced to a hoofprint. Its last verse is an oath rather than a promise, and repeats itself to make the point — I speak the truth, truly, truly and again truly; no doubt is to be entertained here.
