THE RAMAYANA
 
स त्वं केसरिणः पुत्रः क्षेत्रजो भीमविक्रमः ।
मारुतस्यौरसः पुत्रः तेजसा चापि तत्समः ॥
 
You are Kesarin's son but born to ano-
ther person and you are of terrible heroism.
You are the son born from the loins of the
Wind-god and you are also equal to him in
might.
 
उत्तिष्ठ हरिशार्दूल लङ्घयस्व महार्णवम् ।
विक्रमस्व महावेगो विष्णुस्त्रीन्विक्रम निव ॥
 
Arise, O best of monkeys, and cross the
great ocean. Go forth with great speed
even as Vishnu took his three great
strides."
 
संस्तूयमानो हनुमान् व्यवर्धत महाबलः ।
समाविध्य च लाङ्गूलं हर्षाच्च बलमेयिवान् ।
 
Being praised, the mighty Hanuman
increased greatly (in size). And flourishing
his tail out of joy, he attained (great)
strength.
 
आरुरोह नगश्रेष्ठं महेन्द्रमरिमर्दनः ॥
 
Hanuman, the destroyer of foes, got up
the best of mountains, Mahendra.
