॥ सुन्दरकाण्डः ॥
 
1:0:1
 
ततो रावणनीतायाः सीतायाः शत्रुकर्शनः ।
इयेष पदमन्वेष्टुं चारणाचरिते पथि ॥
 
Then Hanuman, the vanquisher of foes,
desired to search along the route frequent-
ed by the Charanas for the place where
Sita, carried off by Ravana, was.
 
स सूर्याय महेन्द्राय पवनाय स्वयम्भुवे ।
भूतेभ्यश्चाञ्जलिं बध्वा चकार गमने मतिम् ॥
 
Saluting with folded hands, the Sun, the
Great Indra, Vayu, Brahma and all Beings,
he made his mind to proceed.
 
उत्पपाताथ वेगेन वेगवान विचारयन् ।
सुपर्णमिव चात्मानं मेने स कपिकुञ्जरः ॥
 
Then the swift one, Hanuman, flew up
with speed, undaunted. The best of
monkeys verily thought himself equal to
Suparna (Garuda).
