व्याघ्रादिभिः समाकीर्णं स्वादुमूलफलद्रुमम्। आरुरोहानिलसुतः पर्वतं प्लवगोत्तमः
Crowded with tigers and other beasts, filled with trees bearing sweet roots and fruits, the best of monkeys, son of the wind, ascended the mountain.
रामदर्शनशीघ्रेण प्रहर्षेणाभिचोदितः। तेन पादतलक्रान्ता रम्येषु गिरिसानुषु
Driven by intense joy at the prospect of seeing Rāma, he pressed his feet upon the lovely mountain slopes.
सघोषाः समशीर्यन्त शिलाश्चूर्णीकृतास्ततः। स तमारुह्य शैलेन्द्रं व्यवर्धत महाकपिः
With a great noise, rocks were shattered and crushed to powder; having climbed that lordly mountain, the great monkey grew in might.
दक्षिणादुत्तरं पारं प्रार्थयँल्लवणाम्भसः। अधिरुह्य ततो वीरः पर्वतं पवनात्मजः
Desiring to reach the northern shore from the southern side of the salty ocean, the heroic son of the wind ascended the mountain.
ददर्श सागरं भीमं भीमोरगनिषेवितम्। स मारुत इवाकाशं मारुतस्यात्मसम्भवः
He beheld the dreadful ocean, attended by fearsome serpents; that son of the wind, like the wind itself, gazed upon the sky.
प्रपेदे हरिशार्दूलो दक्षिणादुत्तरां दिशम्। स तदा पीडितस्तेन कपिना पर्वतोत्तमः
The tiger among monkeys then crossed from the southern to the northern direction; at that time, the great mountain was pressed down by the monkey.
ररास विविधैर्भूतैः प्राविशद् वसुधातलम्। कम्पमानैश्च शिखरैः पतद्भिरपि च द्रुमैः
It roared with many kinds of beings, entered the earth, its peaks trembling and trees falling down.
तस्योरुवेगोन्मथिताः पादपाः पुष्पशालिनः। निपेतुर्भूतले भग्नाः शक्रायुधहता इव
The flower-laden trees, torn up by his immense force, fell broken to the ground, as if struck by Indra's weapon.
कन्दरोदरसंस्थानां पीडितानां महौजसाम्। सिंहानां निनदो भीमो नभो भिन्दन् हि शुश्रुवे
The terrifying roar of lions of great energy, dwelling in the caves and pressed down, was heard splitting the sky.
त्रस्तव्याविद्धवसना व्याकुलीकृतभूषणाः। विद्याधर्यः समुत्पेतुः सहसा धरणीधरात्
The Vidyādharīs, their garments disordered in fear and their ornaments scattered, suddenly flew up from the mountain.
अतिप्रमाणा बलिनो दीप्तजिह्वा महाविषाः। निपीडितशिरोग्रीवा व्यवेष्टन्त महाहयः
Enormous, powerful serpents with blazing tongues and deadly venom, their heads and necks pressed down, writhed violently.
किंनरोरगगन्धर्वयक्षविद्याधरास्तथा। पीडितं तं नगवरं त्यक्त्वा गगनमास्थिताः
Kinnaras, serpents, gandharvas, yakṣas, and vidyādharas likewise abandoned that oppressed great mountain and took to the sky.
स च भूमिधरः श्रीमान् बलिना तेन पीडितः। सवृक्षशिखरोदग्रः प्रविवेश रसातलम्
That glorious mountain, pressed down by his strength, with its tall treetops, entered the netherworld.
दशयोजनविस्तारस्त्रिंशद्योजनमुच्छ्रितः। धरण्यां समतां यातः स बभूव धराधरः
Ten yojanas wide and thirty yojanas high, that mountain became level with the earth.
स लिलङ्घयिषुर्भीमं सलीलं लवणार्णवम्। कल्लोलास्फालवेलान्तमुत्पपात नभो हरिः
Wishing to leap gracefully over the dreadful salt ocean, the monkey sprang into the sky, reaching the edge of the surging waves.
thumb|सप्तपञ्चाशः सर्गः श्रूयताम्|center श्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे सुन्दरकाण्डे सप्तपञ्चाशः सर्गः ॥५-
Hear now the fifty-seventh sarga.
आप्लुत्य च महावेगः पक्षवानिव पर्वतः। भुजङ्गयक्षगन्धर्वप्रबुद्धकमलोत्पलम्
Having leapt, the mighty one, swift as a winged mountain, passed over serpents, yakṣas, gandharvas, and blooming lotuses and water-lilies.
स चन्द्रकुमुदं रम्यं सार्ककारण्डवं शुभम्। तिष्यश्रवणकादम्बमभ्रशैवलशाद्वलम्
He beheld the lovely moon as a water-lily, the sun as a radiant waterfowl, the stars as kadamba flowers, and the clouds as green moss in the sky.
पुनर्वसुमहामीनं लोहिताङ्गमहाग्रहम्। ऐरावतमहाद्वीपं स्वातीहंसविलासितम्
He saw the constellation Punarvasu as great fish, Mars as a mighty crocodile, Airavata as a vast island, and the star Svati as a swan at play.
वातसंघातजालोर्मिचन्द्रांशुशिशिराम्बुमत्। हनूमानपरिश्रान्तः पुप्लुवे गगनार्णवम्
Exhausted, Hanuman crossed the ocean of the sky, whose waves were formed by masses of wind, whose waters were cooled by moonbeams.
ग्रसमान इवाकाशं ताराधिपमिवोल्लिखन्। हरन्निव सनक्षत्रं गगनं सार्कमण्डलम्
As if devouring the sky, as if scraping the moon, as if carrying away the starry heavens and the sun's orb, he soared.
अपारमपरिश्रान्तश्चाम्बुधिं समगाहत। हनूमान् मेघजालानि विकर्षन्निव गच्छति
Though weary, Hanuman entered the boundless ocean of clouds, moving as if dragging along the masses of clouds.
पाण्डुरारुणवर्णानि नीलमाञ्जिष्ठकानि च। हरितारुणवर्णानि महाभ्राणि चकाशिरे
Great clouds appeared, shining with pale, red, blue, and deep crimson hues, and with green and reddish colors.
प्रविशन्नभ्रजालानि निष्क्रमंश्च पुनः पुनः। प्रकाशश्चाप्रकाशश्च चन्द्रमा इव दृश्यते
Entering and emerging again and again from clusters of clouds, he appeared now bright, now obscured, like the moon.
विविधाभ्रघनापन्नगोचरो धवलाम्बरः। दृश्यादृश्यतनुर्वीरस्तथा चन्द्रायतेऽम्बरे
Moving among various dense clouds, his white form sometimes visible, sometimes hidden, the hero shone in the sky like the moon.
तार्क्ष््यायमाणो गगने स बभौ वायुनन्दनः। दारयन् मेघवृन्दानि निष्पतंश्च पुनः पुनः
Soaring through the heavens like Garuda, the son of the wind shone as he tore through masses of clouds, bursting forth again and again.
नदन् नादेन महता मेघस्वनमहास्वनः। प्रवरान् राक्षसान् हत्वा नाम विश्राव्य चात्मनः
Roaring with a mighty sound, like the thunder of great clouds, having slain the foremost rakshasas and proclaimed his own name,
आकुलां नगरीं कृत्वा व्यथयित्वा च रावणम्। अर्दयित्वा महावीरान् वैदेहीमभिवाद्य च
Having thrown the city into turmoil, having distressed Ravana, having struck down mighty heroes, and having saluted Vaidehi,
आजगाम महातेजाः पुनर्मध्येन सागरम्। पर्वतेन्द्रं सुनाभं च समुपस्पृश्य वीर्यवान्
The illustrious Hanuman returned again across the middle of the ocean, and, full of strength, touched the peak of the lord of mountains, Sunabha.
ज्यामुक्त इव नाराचो महावेगोऽभ्युपागमत्। स किंचिदारात् सम्प्राप्तः समालोक्य महागिरिम्
Like a swift arrow released from a bowstring, he approached with great speed, and, coming a little nearer, gazed upon the great mountain.
