विमुक्तास्तस्य वेगेन मुक्त्वा पुष्पाणि ते द्रुमाः। व्यवशीर्यन्त सलिले निवृत्ताः सुहृदो यथा
Released by his speed, the trees let fall their flowers, which scattered in the water, like friends departing after a visit.
लघुत्वेनोपपन्नं तद् विचित्रं सागरेऽपतत्। द्रुमाणां विविधं पुष्पं कपिवायुसमीरितम्। ताराचितमिवाकाशं प्रबभौ स महार्णवः
That wondrous, varied mass of flowers from the trees, stirred by the monkey's wind, fell lightly upon the sea, making the great ocean shine like the star-strewn sky.
पुष्पौघेण सुगन्धेन नानावर्णेन वानरः। बभौ मेघ इवोद्यन् वै विद्युद्गणविभूषितः
Bathed in a flood of fragrant, multicolored flowers, the monkey shone like a rising cloud adorned with clusters of lightning.
तस्य वेगसमुद्भूतैः पुष्पैस्तोयमदृश्यत। ताराभिरिव रामाभिरुदिताभिरिवाम्बरम्
The water was covered with flowers scattered by his force, shining like stars or like lamps illuminating the sky.
तस्याम्बरगतौ बाहू ददृशाते प्रसारितौ। पर्वताग्राद् विनिष्क्रान्तौ पञ्चास्याविव पन्नगौ
His arms, stretched out in the sky, appeared like two serpents with five mouths emerging from the summit of a mountain.
पिबन्निव बभौ चापि सोर्मिजालं महार्णवम्। पिपासुरिव चाकाशं ददृशे स महाकपिः
That great monkey shone as if he were drinking the vast ocean with its waves, and appeared as if he were thirsty for the sky.
तस्य विद्युत्प्रभाकारे वायुमार्गानुसारिणः। नयने विप्रकाशेते पर्वतस्थाविवानलौ
His eyes, following the path of the wind and shining like lightning, blazed forth like fires placed on a mountain.
पिङ्गे पिङ्गाक्षमुख्यस्य बृहती परिमण्डले। चक्षुषी सम्प्रकाशेते चन्द्रसूर्याविव स्थितौ
The large, round eyes of the tawny-eyed leader gleamed, fixed like the moon and the sun.
मुखं नासिकया तस्य ताम्रया ताम्रमाबभौ। संध्यया समभिस्पृष्टं यथा स्यात् सूर्यमण्डलम्
His face, with its reddish nose, shone red like the sun's disk touched by the twilight.
लाङ्गूलं च समाविद्धं प्लवमानस्य शोभते। अम्बरे वायुपुत्रस्य शक्रध्वज इवोच्छ्रितम्
His tail, raised as he leapt, shone in the sky like the banner of Indra.
लाङ्गूलचक्रो हनुमान् शुक्लदंष्ट्रोऽनिलात्मजः। व्यरोचत महाप्राज्ञः परिवेषीव भास्करः
Hanuman, the son of the wind, with a circle formed by his tail and shining white fangs, appeared resplendent like the sun surrounded by its halo.
स्फिग्देशेनातिताम्रेण रराज स महाकपिः। महता दारितेनेव गिरिर्गैरिकधातुना
That great monkey, with his very red hip region, shone like a mountain split open and stained with red ochre.
तस्य वानरसिंहस्य प्लवमानस्य सागरम्। कक्षान्तरगतो वायुर्जीमूत इव गर्जति
As the lion among monkeys leapt across the ocean, the wind passing between his sides roared like thunderclouds.
खे यथा निपतत्युल्का उत्तरान्ताद् विनिःसृता। दृश्यते सानुबन्धा च तथा स कपिकुञ्जरः
Just as a meteor falls from the northern sky with its trail visible, so did that mighty monkey appear.
पतत्पतङ्गसंकाशो व्यायतः शुशुभे कपिः। प्रवृद्ध इव मातङ्गः कक्ष्यया बध्यमानया
The monkey, stretched out and shining like a flying firebrand, looked like a great elephant grown large, bound by a rope around his sides.
उपरिष्टाच्छरीरेण च्छायया चावगाढया। सागरे मारुताविष्टा नौरिवासीत् तदा कपिः
With his body and deep shadow cast above, that monkey seemed like a boat driven by the wind, immersed in the ocean.
यं यं देशं समुद्रस्य जगाम स महाकपिः। स तु तस्याङ्गवेगेन सोन्माद इव लक्ष्यते
Whatever region of the ocean that great monkey reached, it appeared as if maddened by the force of his limbs.
सागरस्योर्मिजालानामुरसा शैलवर्ष्मणाम्। अभिध्नंस्तु महावेगः पुप्लुवे स महाकपिः
That mighty monkey, with great speed, leapt over the crests of the ocean's waves, which were as high as mountains.
कपिवातश्च बलवान् मेघवातश्च निर्गतः। सागरं भीमनिर्ह्रादं कम्पयामासतुर्भृशम्
The powerful wind of the monkey and the wind from the clouds together shook the ocean, which roared terribly.
विकर्षन्नूर्मिजालानि बृहन्ति लवणाम्भसि। पुप्लुवे कपिशार्दूलो विकिरन्निव रोदसी
Dragging the great nets of waves in the salty water, the tiger among monkeys leapt, as if scattering the heavens and the earth.
मेरुमन्दरसंकाशानुद्गतान् सुमहार्णवे। अत्यक्रामन्महावेगस्तरङ्गान् गणयन्निव
With great speed, he crossed the waves of the vast ocean, which rose like Mount Meru and Mandara, as if counting them.
तस्य वेगसमुद्घुष्टं जलं सजलदं तदा। अम्बरस्थं विबभ्राजे शरदभ्रमिवाततम्
At that time, the water, resounding with his force and filled with clouds, shone in the sky like autumn clouds spread out.
तिमिनक्रझषाः कूर्मा दृश्यन्ते विवृतास्तदा। वस्त्रापकर्षणेनेव शरीराणि शरीरिणाम्
There could be seen, exposed, sharks, crocodiles, fish, and turtles, as if their bodies were being stripped of their coverings.
क्रममाणं समीक्ष्याथ भुजगाः सागरंगमाः। व्योम्नि तं कपिशार्दूलं सुपर्णमिव मेनिरे
Then, seeing him advancing, the serpents dwelling in the ocean thought that tiger among monkeys to be Garuda in the sky.
दशयोजनविस्तीर्णा त्रिंशद्योजनमायता। छाया वानरसिंहस्य जवे चारुतराभवत्
The shadow of the lion-like monkey, in his swift movement, became beautiful—ten yojanas wide and thirty yojanas long.
श्वेताभ्रघनराजीव वायुपुत्रानुगामिनी। तस्य सा शुशुभे छाया पतिता लवणाम्भसि
His shadow, following the son of the wind, shone upon the salty waters like a line of white, dense clouds.
शुशुभे स महातेजा महाकायो महाकपिः। वायुमार्गे निरालम्बे पक्षवानिव पर्वतः
That great and radiant monkey, of immense body, shone on the path of the wind, unsupported, like a winged mountain.
येनासौ याति बलवान् वेगेन कपिकुञ्जरः। तेन मार्गेण सहसा द्रोणीकृत इवार्णवः
The powerful monkey-elephant sped along, and by the path he took, the ocean seemed suddenly to be made into a trough.
आपाते पक्षिसङ्घानां पक्षिराज इव व्रजन्। हनुमान् मेघजालानि प्रकर्षन् मारुतो यथा
As he moved through flocks of birds in his descent, Hanuman, like the king of birds, swept away masses of clouds as the wind would.
पाण्डुरारुणवर्णानि नीलमञ्जिष्ठकानि च। कपिनाऽऽकृष्यमाणानि महाभ्राणि चकाशिरे
Great clouds, white, red, blue, and madder-colored, shone as they were drawn along by the monkey.
