Surveying the monkey-host consisting of many hundreds and
thousands,--crest-fallen, Jambavan thus spake unto Hanuman,--"O hero
among the monkey-multitude, best of those versed in all branches of
learning, staying apart in silent, why dost thou not speak? O Hanuman,
thou art alike in energy and strength, equal to Sugriva, monarch of
monkeys, and to Rama and Lakshmana. Arishtanemi's son, the mighty
Vainateya,[200] famous by the cognomen of Garutroin, is the foremost of
birds. Many a time and oft I have seen that exceedingly powerful,
mighty-armed one, endowed with strength of will,--raise up serpents in
the ocean. The strength that is in his wings is equal to the might and
virtue of thy arm. Thy energy and prowess are not surpassed by him. And
thy strength, and thy understanding, thy energy, and thy vigour, O
foremost of monkeys, (is known among all creatures). Why dost not thou
prepare thyself furnished with everything that is noble or great, (for
this feat)? That foremost of Apsaras,--the famous Punjikathala, more
famed under the name of Anjana, is the spouse of the monkey Kesarin.
Famed over the three worlds, and incomparable on earth by virtue of her
beauty, by an imprecation, my son, she was born in the monkey-race,
capable of wearing shapes at her will. Once on a time, that daughter of
the high-souled lord of monkeys, Kunjara,--endeued with youth and
beauty,-- decked in a delightful garland, and clad in silk, --assuming a
human form, was ranging on the summit of a mountain, resembling a mass
of clouds in the rainy season. And it came to pass that as that one of
expansive eyes was standing on the summit of the mount, the Wind gently
stole away her elegant yellow cloth with crimson skirts. And he had a
sight of her fair and fine face, together with her well-developed
breasts. And soon as the Wind saw that illustrious one of spacious hips
and slender waist, and whose every limb was lovely,-- he was amain
overcome by desire. And all his frame possessed by _Manmatha_, and
deprived of self, the Wind embraced that blameless one by means of his
long arms. Thereat, influenced by fear, that one of excellent vows
said,-- 'Who is it that desireth to lay violent hands upon my chastity?'
Hearing Anjana's words, the Wind answered,-- 'I do not wrong thee, O
thou of shapely hips. Let not fear enter thy heart. As, O famous damsel,
by embracing thee, I have mentally entered into thy womb, thou shalt
bear a son, intelligent and endeued with prowess. And, gifted with great
strength, and possessing exceeding energy, and having vast vigor, he
shall equal me in bounding and leaping.' Thus addressed, O mighty
monkey, thy mother, O long-armed one, O foremost of monkeys, gave birth
to thee in a cave. And in that mighty forest, thou, a child, desirous of
eating, seeing the Sun risen, and taking him to be a fruit, sprang up
and leaped into the sky. And, O mighty monkey, going three thousand
_yojanas_, thou, struck by his energy, didst not feel poverty of spirit.
And, seeing thee rushing through the heavens, O mighty monkey, Indra,
growing wroth, hurled his thunder-bolt at thee. Thereat, breaking thy
left jaw, thou (didst fall) on the mountain-top. From this circumstance,
thy name hath been known as _Hanuman_.[201] Witnessing thee beaten back,
that bearer of perfumes himself, the Wind, that breaketh everything
before him. in wrath did not blow through the three worlds. Thereat, all
the gods--lords of the universe--influenced by fear in consequence of
the triune world waxing agitated, began to pacify the wrathful Wind. And
on the Wind being mollified, Brahma conferred on him a boon, saying,--'O
child, O thou of true prowess, (thy son) shall be incapable of being
slain in battle by means of weapons.' And seeing him[202] sustain no
(serious) injury consequent on the impact of the thunder-bolt, He of a
thousand eyes, pleased in his soul, also conferred on (thee) an
excellent boon, O lard, saying,--'Thy death shall take place according
to thy will.' Thou, endowed with dreadful vigor, art the son of Kesari
by his wife; and, resembling the Wind in energy, thou hast sprung from
his loins. Thou art the son of the Wind, my child--equal to him in the
power of leaping. Now we are without our lives. And now thou, endowed
with dexterity and vigor, and like another king of the monkeys,[203] art
before us. On the occasion of Vishnu's enveloping the earth with three
steps, I, O child, had circumambulated the earth with her mountains,
woods and forests, one and twenty times. Then, commissioned by the gods,
we had gathered annuals, which being cast on the deep, caused ambrosia
to come out after churning. At that time, great was our strength. But
now I have grown old, and my prowess hath left me. At present we have
thee, furnished with every virtue. Therefore, possessed of vigor, do
thou bestir thyself, and bound over (the main). Thou art the most
qualified of all. This entire monkey host is eager to behold thy
prowess. O redoubtable monkey, do thou arise! Do thou leap over the
mighty ocean. Thy motion, Hanuman, surpasseth that of all beings. All
the monkeys are depressed. Why, O Hanuman, dost thou overlook this? Put
forth thy vigor, O thou endowed with mighty vehemence, like Vishnu
crossing over the three worlds in three steps." Exhorted by the foremost
of monkeys, that one famed for his speech, that monkey,the offspring of
the Wind-god, gladdening the monkey-hosts, wore (a fit) shape for
crossing the ocean.[204]

SECTION LXVII.
Seeing that foremost of monkeys enlarge his person for crossing over an
hundred _yojanas_, and suddenly filled with energy,(the monkeys) at once
renounced sorrow, and, filled with delight, set up ululations and fell
to eulogizing the mighty Hanuman. And, struck with amazement,they,
(staying) all round, joyfully gazed (at him); even as creatures beheld
Narayana, when stretching forth his three steps, he prepared himself
(for the succeeding feat). And, eulogized by them, the wondrous mighty
Hanuman increased; and, flourishing his tail from joy, attained
strength. And as, extolled by the principal elderly monkeys, he became
fraught with effulgence, his beauty was great. As a lion fills himself
with vigor in an open cave, so the son of the Wind-god filled himself
with energy. And the face of him, as that intelligent one was filling
himself with force, was aflame like a frying-pan, or like unto fumeless
fire. Rising in the midst of the monkeys, Hanuman with his down standing
on end through joy, saluting the aged monkeys, said,--"Wind, the friend
of Fire, shattereth mountain-summits; and, ever blowing in the eye of
the sky, he is possessed of strength, and is of immeasurable (might).
Begot from his loins, I am the son of the fast-coursing and high-souled
Wind, coursing swiftly. I am his equal in all these
accomplishments[205]. I can, without once stopping, circumambulate the
extensive and heaven-cleaving mountain, Meru, for a thousand times. And,
dashing the ocean with my arms, I can deluge the world with its
mountains, rivers and lakes. Lashed by the force of my legs and thighs,
that abode of Varuna, the sea, out which have sprung the ferocious
aquatic animals, overleaps its continents. And for once that lord of
birds, Vinata's offspring, living on serpents, courseth through the
welkin, I can course through it a thousand times. And I can touch the
flaming effulgent Sun ere, beginning his journey from the Rising hill,
he ascends the Setting hill. And, ye foremost of monkeys, I can,
fiercely rushing on, come again without touching the earth. And I can
bound beyond stars and planets, suck up the oceans, and rive the earth.
And a monkey, I can, leaping, crush mountains; and, leaping, I can drain
the mighty ocean dry. And, when I shall leap in the sky, flowers from
various shrubs and trees shall follow me to-day. And then my course,
(flecked with flowers), shall resemble even the sky (studded with
stars). And, ye monkeys, then all creatures shall see me, now ranging
through the profound firmament, now shooting up, and now descending on
the other shore). Resembling Mahameru, me ye shall behold, ye monkeys,
making my way, covering up the sky, as if devouring up the heavens. I
shall, leaping and concentrating my energy, scatter the clouds, shake
the hills, and suck up the ocean. The strength of Vinata's son, or the
Wind-god's, or mine, (surpasses that of every other creature). None save
the sovereign of birds, or the exceedingly mighty Wind, can follow me in
flight. In the twinkling of an eye I shall spread through the
unsupported sky, like lightning darting from clouds. And at the time of
leaping over the ocean, my form shall resemble that of the energizing
Vishnu, when He had assumed the triune energy. I perceive through my
intelligence, (and my mental motion tallies), that I shall behold
Vaidehi. Therefore, ye monkeys, rejoice. In vehemence like unto Garuda,
I shall, I conceive, go an _Ayuta yojanas_. I can, suddenly summoning
energy, bring hither ambrosia from the very grasp of Vasava or Brahma,
himself.[206] I shall leap sheer over Lanka. Even this is my
impression." Filled with delight, the monkeys there amazed see that
foremost of monkeys, endued with immeasurable might, storming. And,
hearing his speech capable of removing the grief of kindred, that best
of monkeys Jambavan, transported with joy, said,--"O hero! O son of
Kesari! O offspring of the Wind! the huge sorrow of thy kindred hath, my
child, been destroyed by thee. And these foremost of monkeys assembled,
who wish for thy welfare, shall, with intent minds, perform acts tending
to thy weal,--so that thou mayst succeed in thy undertaking. And by the
grace of the saints, and with the permission of the aged monkeys, and by
the blessing of the superiors, do thou bound over the mighty main. Till
thou return, we shall stay on one leg.[207] The lives of all these
rangers of the forest shall go along with thee." Then that tiger-like
monkey said unto those rangers of the woods,--"None in this world would
be able to sustain my impetus in the act of bounding. Here are these
summits, firm and spacious, of this mountain, Mahendra, thronged with
crags. I shall rush forward from these summits of Mahendra, interspersed
with trees and adorned with masses of ore. And as I leap over a hundred
_yojanas_, these mighty summits shall sustain my impetus." Then he
equalling the Wind, that monkey, the son of the Wind-god, pounder of
enemies, ascended that best of mountains, Mahendra; covered with various
trees and flowers, furnished with swards; ranged by deer; containing
plants and blossoms with trees bearing fruits and flowers daily; having
tigers and lions and infuriated elephants; swarming with maddened birds;
and abounding with fountains. Ascending (Mahendra), that foremost of
monkeys endeued with exceeding strength, and resembling Mahendra himself
in prowess, began to range from one mighty summit to another. Thereat,
hurt by the arms of that high-souled one, that mighty mountain began to
cry,[208] like a mighty mad elephant tormented by a lion. And water
rushed out of masses of rocks scattered around. And that mighty mountain
had its deer and elephants afflicted with afright; and its giant trees
shaken: and its spacious uplands deserted by various Gandharva couples
engaged in drinking and dalliance, and by birds flying away, and by
bevies of Vidyadharas; and its huge serpents distressed, and its cliffs
and peaks toppling down. And with its serpents hissing, with their
bodies half issuing (from their holes), the mountain seemed as if it
shone with pennons displayed. And the heap of crags forsaken by saints
exercised with fear and agitation, looked doleful,Источники и права
