मारुतस्यौरसः पुत्रस्तेजसा चापि तत्समः। त्वं हि वायुसुतो वत्स प्लवने चापि तत्समः
You are the true-born son of the Wind-god, and equal to him in brilliance; indeed, O child, you are the son of Vāyu, and his equal in leaping.
वयमद्य गतप्राणा भवानस्मासु साम्प्रतम्। दाक्ष्यविक्रमसम्पन्नः कपिराज इवापरः
Today, our lives are spent, but you are now among us, endowed with skill and valor, like another king of the monkeys.
त्रिविक्रमे मया तात सशैलवनकानना। त्रिःसप्तकृत्वः पृथिवी परिक्रान्ता प्रदक्षिणम्
'With three strides, O child, I myself circled the earth, with its mountains, forests, and groves, twenty-one times in a clockwise direction.'
तथा चौषधयोऽस्माभिः संचिता देवशासनात्। निर्मथ्यममृतं याभिस्तदानीं नो महद्बलम्
'Likewise, by the command of the gods, we gathered herbs, by which nectar was churned, and then we possessed great strength.'
स इदानीमहं वृद्धः परिहीनपराक्रमः। साम्प्रतं कालमस्माकं भवान् सर्वगुणान्वितः
'But now I am old, my valor diminished; at this time, you, endowed with all virtues, are our hope.'
तद् विजृम्भस्व विक्रान्त प्लवतामुत्तमो ह्यसि। त्वद्वीर्यं द्रष्टुकामा हि सर्वा वानरवाहिनी
Now display your might, for you are the foremost among those who leap; the entire host of monkeys wishes to witness your strength.
उत्तिष्ठ हरिशार्दूल लङ्घयस्व महार्णवम्। परा हि सर्वभूतानां हनुमन् या गतिस्तव
Rise up, tiger among monkeys, leap across the great ocean; for Hanuman, your path surpasses that of all beings.
विषण्णा हरयः सर्वे हनुमन् किमुपेक्षसे। विक्रमस्व महावेग विष्णुस्त्रीन् विक्रमानिव
All the monkeys are disheartened, Hanuman, why do you hesitate? Stride forth with great speed, as Vishnu took his three strides.
ततः कपीनामृषभेण चोदितः प्रतीतवेगः पवनात्मजः कपिः। प्रहर्षयंस्तां हरिवीरवाहिनीं चकार रूपं महदात्मनस्तदा
Then, urged by the leader of the monkeys, the son of the wind, confident in his speed, delighted that troop of monkey heroes and assumed a great form.
thumb|सप्तषष्ठितमः सर्गः श्रूयताम्|center श्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे किष्किन्धाकाण्डे सप्तषष्ठितमः सर्गः ॥४-
Let the sixty-seventh chapter be heard.
तं दृष्ट्वा जृम्भमाणं ते क्रमितुं शतयोजनम्। वेगेनापूर्यमाणं च सहसा वानरोत्तमम्
Seeing him expanding, preparing to cross a hundred yojanas, and swiftly filling the space, the foremost monkey—
सहसा शोकमुत्सृज्य प्रहर्षेण समन्विताः। विनेदुस्तुष्टुवुश्चापि हनूमन्तं महाबलम्
Suddenly casting off sorrow, filled with joy, they cried out and praised mighty Hanuman.
प्रहृष्टा विस्मिताश्चापि ते वीक्षन्ते समन्ततः। त्रिविक्रमं कृतोत्साहं नारायणमिव प्रजाः
Joyful and astonished, they gazed all around at him, the one who had made the three strides, enthusiastic, like people watching Narayana.
संस्तूयमानो हनुमान् व्यवर्धत महाबलः। समाविद्ध्य च लाङ्गूलं हर्षाद् बलमुपेयिवान्
Praised by all, Hanuman, mighty in strength, grew larger; curling his tail, he gained power from delight.
तस्य संस्तूयमानस्य वृद्धैर्वानरपुङ्गवैः। तेजसाऽऽपूर्यमाणस्य रूपमासीदनुत्तमम्
As he was praised by the elder leaders of monkeys, and filled with brilliance, his form became unsurpassed.
यथा विजृम्भते सिंहो विवृते गिरिगह्वरे। मारुतस्यौरसः पुत्रस्तथा सम्प्रति जृम्भते
Just as a lion stretches in an open mountain cave, so now the son of the wind expands himself.
अशोभत मुखं तस्य जृम्भमाणस्य धीमतः। अम्बरीषोपमं दीप्तं विधूम इव पावकः
His face, as he expanded, shone brilliantly, wise and radiant like Ambariṣa, like fire blazing without smoke.
हरीणामुत्थितो मध्यात् सम्प्रहृष्टतनूरुहः। अभिवाद्य हरीन् वृद्धान् हनूमानिदमब्रवीत्
Rising from the midst of the monkeys, his body thrilled with joy, Hanuman respectfully addressed the elder monkeys.
आरुजन् पर्वताग्राणि हुताशनसखोऽनिलः। बलवानप्रमेयश्च वायुराकाशगोचरः
The wind, strong and immeasurable, friend of fire, climbs mountain peaks and moves through the sky.
तस्याहं शीघ्रवेगस्य शीघ्रगस्य महात्मनः। मारुतस्यौरसः पुत्रः प्लवनेनास्मि तत्समः
I am the son born of the wind, swift and mighty; in leaping, I am equal to him.
उत्सहेयं हि विस्तीर्णमालिखन्तमिवाम्बरम्। मेरुं गिरिमसङ्गेन परिगन्तुं सहस्रशः
I am able, indeed, to encircle Mount Meru thousands of times without touching it, as if tracing the vast sky.
बाहुवेगप्रणुन्नेन सागरेणाहमुत्सहे। समाप्लावयितुं लोकं सपर्वतनदीह्रदम्
Driven by the force of my arms, I am able to flood the world, along with its mountains, rivers, and lakes, with the ocean.
ममोरुजङ्घावेगेन भविष्यति समुत्थितः। समुत्थितमहाग्राहः समुद्रो वरुणालयः
By the speed of my thighs, the ocean, abode of Varuna, will rise up, as if a great crocodile had emerged.
पन्नगाशनमाकाशे पतन्तं पक्षिसेवितम्। वैनतेयमहं शक्तः परिगन्तुं सहस्रशः
I am able to circle Garuḍa, the eater of serpents, soaring in the sky and attended by birds, thousands of times.
उदयात् प्रस्थितं वापि ज्वलन्तं रश्मिमालिनम्। अनस्तमितमादित्यमहं गन्तुं समुत्सहे
I am capable of reaching the sun, blazing and wreathed in rays, whether it has just risen or has not yet set.
ततो भूमिमसंस्पृष्ट्वा पुनरागन्तुमुत्सहे। प्रवेगेनैव महता भीमेन प्लवगर्षभाः
Then, without touching the earth, I am able to return again, with great and terrible speed, O best of the monkeys.
उत्सहेयमतिक्रान्तुं सर्वानाकाशगोचरान्। सागरान् शोषयिष्यामि दारयिष्यामि मेदिनीम्
I am able to surpass all beings who move in the sky; I will dry up the oceans and split the earth.
पर्वतांश्चूर्णयिष्यामि प्लवमानः प्लवङ्गमः। हरिष्याम्युरुवेगेन प्लवमानो महार्णवम्
Leaping, I will crush the mountains, O monkey; leaping, I will carry away the great ocean with my immense speed.
लतानां विविधं पुष्पं पादपानां च सर्वशः। अनुयास्यति मामद्य प्लवमानं विहायसा
Today, as I leap through the sky, all kinds of flowers from creepers and trees will follow after me.
भविष्यति हि मे पन्थाः स्वातेः पन्था इवाम्बरे। चरन्तं घोरमाकाशमुत्पतिष्यन्तमेव च
Indeed, my path will be like the path of the wind in the sky, as I move through the terrible expanse of the heavens and leap upward.
