SECTION I.
Then that repressor of foes[209] resolved to follow the path of the
Charanas, in quest of the place where Sita was carried off by Ravana.
And bent on achieving a hard task, in which he had no help-mate and none
to withstand the monkey, with his neck and head raised, resembled the
lord of kine.[210] And frightening fowls, and crushing trees with his
breast, and slaughtering numbers of beasts, that exceedingly powerful,
intelligent and staid one began to range at ease in lapis-hued lawns
resembling water, like a lion bursting in energy. And on the level of
that foremost of mountains, filled with nonpareil Nagas, and embellished
with natural and unmixed metals, red and dark-blue, and black and pale,
and pale-red, and lotus-hued, and variegated; and crowded with god-like
Yakshas and Kinnaras and Gandharvas and Pannagas, excellently
attired,--Hanuman stationing himself, resembled a Naga in a lake. Then
joining his hands to the Sun, Mahendra, Wind,[211] the Self-create, and
all Beings, he set his heart upon his journey. Then having,with his face
to the East, joined his palms to his Sire, that blessed one began to
attain proportions for journeying towards the South. And sure as the sea
increases on the occasion of a _Parva_, (Hanuman) determined on his
leap, experiencing exhilaration, began, in the midst of the foremost
monkeys, to increase for the behoof of Rama. Attaining measureless
magnitude, he desirous of crossing over the ocean, pressed the mountain
with his arms and legs. And roughly handled by the monkey, the mountain
anon shook for a while; and all the blossoms showered down from the tops
of the trees. And covered all over with heaps of fragrant flowers thrown
off from the trees, the entire mountain wore one floral look. And
afflicted by that one of first-rate prowess, that mountain shed water,
like an elephant in rut. And hard beset by that powerful one, the
mountain Mahendra put out the golden, silvern and collyrium sheen (that
appertained thereto). And the mountain began to cast forth huge crags
containing red arsenic; and its middle resembled smoke embosoming a
sparkling flame. And sore tormented by the monkey engaged in harassing
them, all the creatures dwelling in the caverns cried in frightful
tones. And that mighty chorus[212] of the creatures consequent on the
mountain's agony filled the entire earth, all the cardinal points, and
the groves. And snakes bringing out their spacious hoods marked with
blue streaks, vomitting fierce fire, began to bite at the rocks with
their fangs. And those gigantic crags, bit at by those enraged (snakes)
of virulent venom, flamed up with fire and were shivered unto a thousand
fragments. And those medicinal herbs that grew there, albeit endowed
with the virtue of neutralizing poison, could not tame the fierceness of
the venom of those serpents. Then, conceiving that the mountain was
being riven by Brahma Rakshasas, the ascetics, becoming agitated, as
well as the Vidyadharas together with their females, began to flee away.
And forsaking their golden seats and cans on the drinking grounds, and
costly vessels, and water-pots plated with gold, and diverse suckable
viands and meats of various kinds, and bucklers of bull hides,
gold-hafted swords,--beings with wreathes on their necks, inebriate,
bearing red garlands and unguents, having red eyes resembling lotuses,
flew into the firmament. And fair ones decked in chains and bangles and
Keyuras and bracelets,[213] struck with amaze, with a smile rose in the
sky along with their paramours. And witnessing this mighty phenomenon,
Vidyadharas and Maharshis, mounted into the sky, gazing at the mountain.
And they heard the words of spirit-pervaded ascetics, and Charanas, and
Siddhas, stationed in the azure sky: "This mountain-like Hanuman, son of
the Wind, endeued with exceeding vehemence, is anxious to cross over the
main--abode of Varuna. And undertaking an arduous task in the interests
of Rama and monkeys, this one wishes to go to the other shore of the sea
hard to reach." Hearing this speech of the ascetics, the Vidyadharas saw
in the mountain that foremost of monkeys of immeasurable might. And that
one resembling fire shook and bristled his down; and he set up a
tremendous roar resembling a mighty (rumbling) cloud. And springing up,
he lashed his tail furnished all over with hair and folds, like the king
of birds handling a serpent. And the tail of that one endued with
exceeding impetus, bent and brandished, seemed like a gigantic serpent
carried off by Garuda. And the monkey planted his arms resembling mighty
clubs, fast (on the mountain); and his waist became slender; and his
legs were contracted. And contracting his arms[214] and neck, that
graceful and powerful one summoned energy, and strength, physical and
mental. And looking at his way from a distance, Hanuman, raising his
eyes up, and fixing his gaze at the sky, suspended his breath in his
breast. And planting his feet firmly, that one endowed with mighty
strength, Hanuman, foremost of monkeys, contracting his ears up, sprang
forward; and that best of monkeys spoke unto the monkeys, saying,-- "As
a shaft shot by Raghava, courses like the wind, so will I course to
Lanka ruled by Ravana. And if I fail to find Janaka's daughter in Lanka,
I shall with the self-same speed repair to the regions of the
celestials. And if I do not find Sita in Lanka, after taking so much
trouble, I shall bring the Rakshasa king bound. Either attaining
complete success, I shall come hither (back); or uprooting Lanka, with
Ravana in it, I shall carry it hither." Having observed this, the monkey
Hanuman, foremost of monkeys, endowed with speed, without pausing for
thought, suddenly sprang up. And that powerful monkey deemed himself
like unto Suparna. And as he flew up, the trees situated in that
mountain, in consequence of his violent rush, shrinking their boughs,
rolled over on all sides. And drawing up blossoming trees filled with
maddened lapwings, by the vehemence of his flight, he coursed on in the
clear sky. And those trees borne up by the vehemence of his flight,
followed the monkey for a while, like friends following a friend that
hath set out for a far country. And pulled up by the impetus of his
(rushing) thighs, _Salas_ and other mighty trees followed Hanuman, as an
army follows its monarch. And surrounded by innumerable trees having
their tops crested with flowers, Hanuman wearing a mountain-like
appearance, was wonderful to behold. And those trees that were more
ponderous, plunged into the salt sea, as plunged the mountains into
Varuna's abode, afflicted with the fear of Mahendra.[215] And strewn
with various sprouts and buds and blossoms, the monkey resembling a mass
of clouds, looked lovely like a hill filled with glow-worms. And
uprooted by the force of his rush, those trees, their flowers fallen
off, plunged into the sea, like friends returning to their homes (after
having accompanied their friend some way). And blown by the wind caused
by the monkey, the various variegated flowers of the trees in
consequence of their lightness, showered down on the sea. And covered
with heaps of fragrant flowers of diverse hues, the monkey resembled a
mass of clouds embellished by lines of lightning. And the waters (of the
ocean) strewn with blossoms carried off by his motion, appeared like the
sky garnished with charming stars (cresting the same). And his arms
stretched in the sky, seemed like five-hooded snakes issuing from a
mountain. And he appeared as if he was drinking up the mighty deep with
its multitudes of waves, or as if that redoubtable monkey was desirous
of sucking up the sky itself. And as he coursed the orbit of air, his
eyes flashing like lightning, resembled two craters[216] aglow on a
mountain. And the eyes of that foremost of tawny-hued ones resembled the
sun and the moon stationed in a vast yellow aureola. And beside his
coppery nose, his face looked coppery, as looks the solar disc on the
approach of eve. And the uplifted tail of the Wind-god's offspring
engaged in bounding, appeared beautiful in the sky like the raised
standard of Sakra. And the exceedingly wise son of the Wind, Hanuman,
having white teeth, with his tail coiled up, looked handsome like the
sun with his disc. And on account of his waist being deeply coppery,
that mighty monkey appeared like a mountain running a mighty torrent
mixed with minerals and red chalk. And the wind that had got into the
armpits of that leonine monkey who was crossing over the main, roareth
like clouds. And as a meteor consisting of many smaller ones, darting
from above falleth down (to the earth), rushed on that foremost of
monkeys. And then that stalwart monkey resembling the careering sun,
resembled a mad elephant fettered by the middle, whose bulk has
increased immensely. And as he coursed above, on account of the
reflection cast by his body (on the bosom of the deep), the monkey[217]
looked like a bark swayed by the breeze. And wherever that mighty monkey
went about the sea, the state of things appeared to undergo a violent
convulsion owing to impetus imparted by his body. And that mighty monkey
possessed of exceeding speed, rushed on, raising multitudes of surges on
the sea by his breast resembling rock. And the wind begot of the monkey
as well as that of the clouds, issuing out, made the dread-sounding
ocean roll violently. And pushing up multitudes of high-heaving billows
from the salt waters, that tiger-like monkey rushed on, separating earth
and heaven. And that one endeued with vehement speed passed over surges
in the mighty main resembling Mandara or Meru; as if counting them[218].
And the waters lashed up to the clouds by the force (of his speed),
looked like autumnal clouds overspreading the sky. And then whales and
alligators and fishes and tortoises appeared plainly visible, like the
persons of individuals, when the cloth hath been taken off them. And
sea-serpents, seeing that tiger-like monkey proceeding in the sky, took
him for Suparna himself. And the shadow of the leonine monkey, measuring
ten _yojanas_ in width and thirty length, seemed the more handsome in
consequence of his deed. And that shadow resembling masses of white
clouds, falling on the salt waters and following the wind-god's son,
seemed exceedingly beautiful. And that exceedingly energetic mighty
monkey possessed of a gigantic body, appeared splendid in the
unsupported aerial way, like a winged mountain. And the deep beside the
course that was being vehemently pursued by that elephantine monkey, was
suddenly turned into a water-course.[219] And coursing through the
regions of fowls like the monarch of the feathered race, Hanuman,
pushing away masses of clouds, resembled the wind himself, And collossal
clouds scattered by the monkey, pale and crimson and blue and
_mangistha_-hued, looked exceedingly lovely, And now entering into the
clouds, and now emerging from them, he looked like the moon, sometimes
hid and sometimes visible. And beholding that monkey engaged in bounding
with celerity, gods, Gandharbas and Danavas began to strew blossoms (on
him). And as he was leaping,the Sun did not burn him; and the Wind
ministered unto him, for the success of Rama's work. And the saints
hymned his praises, as he was leaping on in the sky. And applauding the
ranger of forests, they raised the voice of song. And _nagas_ and
Yakshas, and various (races of) RakИсточники и права
