of this live world; blameless; and made by Brahma; crowded with countless heroes, and Vidyadharas. And the wind-god's son Hanuman, scattering clouds like the very Wind himself, coursed on in the aerial way like Garuda. And mighty clouds, hued like _Kalaguru_[225] red, and yellow and sable, on being dispersed by the monkey, burst into brilliance. And again and again entering into the clouds and emerging out of them, he resembled the Moon during the rains now entering (into clouds) and now issuing out of them. And everywhere Hanuman, son unto the wind-god coursing through the unsupported sky, looked like the monarch of mountains furnished with wings. And it came to pass that beholding him in the act of bounding, a Rakshasi named Sinhika, of great age, and capable of wearing forms at will, thought within herself,--"Today after a long lapse of time I shall have my fare. This mighty creature hath after a long time come within my power." Having thought thus in her mind, she seized (Hanuman's) shadow.[226] On his shadow being secured, the monkey reflected,--"As a mighty bark is retarded in its course in the sea by adverse wind, have I, my prowess paralysed, been suddenly obstructed in my career." Then looking above and below and sideways, the monkey saw a mighty creature arisen from the salt waters. And seeing that one of a distorted countenace, the wind-god's son thought,--"This one is, without doubt, the creature of wonderful form, possessed of exceeding prowess,--given to securing its prey by means of its shadow,--which had been described by the monkey-king. And concluding her to be Sinhika, from her act,[227] the intelligent monkey attaining a gigantic body, increased himself, like a mass of clouds during the rains. And seeing the enlarged body of the mighty monkey, she extended her mouth measuring the sky and the nether regions. And roaring like unto a mass of clouds, she rushed against the monkey. Thereat, that intelligent and mighty monkey marked her deformed and huge mouth, her body and its asticulated members. And the redoubtable monkey hard as the thunderbolt, contracting himself in a moment, threw himself into her mouth. And the Siddhas and Charanas saw him sink in her mouth, as the full Moon is taken by Rahu during a Parva.-- Then tearing her limits by means of his sharp claws, the monkey, endowed with the celerity of thought, vehemently sprang forward. Then slaying her by his acuteness of sight, endurance and skill, that heroic, self-controlled monkey again began to swell himself amain. Her heart having been crushed out by Hanuman, she, rendered lifeless, fell into the water. The self-create had created him for compassing her destruction. And seeing Sinhika speedily slain by the monkey, and fallen, creatures ranging the sky addressed that foremost of monkeys, saying,--"Terrible is the deed that thou hast performed to day. Mighty was the creature that hath been slaughtered by thee. Compass thou thine wished-for end without let, O foremost of monkeys. He, O chief of monkeys, that, like thee, is endowed with endurance, sharp sightedness, sense, and ability, doth not feel depressed in action." Honored by these and wished well as to his purpose, that monkey, worthy of being honored, set out, enveloping the sky, like him that subsisteth on serpents.[228] And it came to pass that as he had almost arrived at the other shore (of the ocean), he looking about on all sides at the end of an hundred _yojanas_ saw a range of woods. And as he went on. that best of monkeys saw an island decked with diverse trees, and groves pertaining Malaya. And he surveyed the sea, and lands bordering thereon, and trees growing on the sea shore, and the countenances of the spouses of the Sea, And surveying his own person resembling a mighty mass of clouds, and as if closing up the sky, that self-possessed one ascertained his course of action. "Soon as the Rakshasas shall behold my enlarged body and the vehemence of my motion, they shall be seized with curiosity concerning me." Thus thought that magnanimous one. Thereat diminishing that person of his resembling a mountain, that self-possessed one, purged of ignorance, resumed his natural shape. And diminishing that form into the smallest compass, Hanuman remained in his native form, like that depriver of Vali's prowess, Hari, after he had placed his three steps. And thus wearing various graceful forms, that one, acting after reflection, having come to the other shore of the ocean incapable of being reached by others,-- on looking over his (immensely magnified person), reduced his body (to its former size). And that high-souled one resembling a cloudy pavilion, alighted on the (foremost) summit of the splendid mountain, Samva; crested with picturesque peaks; and abounding in _ketakas_, _uddalakas_ and cocoanuts. And reaching the shore of the sea, and beholding Lanka on the top of that foremost of mountains, the monkey, renouncing his native form, fell on that mountain, agitating birds and beasts. And having by main force bounded over the ocean heaving with surges, and rife with Danavas and Panagas, he alighting on the shore of the mighty main, beheld Lanka like unto Amaravati. [209] Hanuman--T. [210] Bull.--T. [211] _Pavana._ The commentator takes this word in its literal meaning. _He that purifieth contemplative spirits by imparting knowledge_. Ramanuya would interpret the epithet as meaning Rama. This is reading into the author a sense which the passage does not plainly yeild.--T. [212] Another reading is: _sa mahasatwasannada--The clans of these mighty creatures.--T_ [213] _Parihara_, according to Kataka, implies _excellence_. Tirtha says it means _bracelets_. I follow him.--T. [214] Above his shoulders.--T. [215] The legend is that Indra or Mahendra--i. e. Indra the Great--once took into his head to clip the pinnions of all the mountains. Hence the fright--T. [216] _Parvatasthavivanalam_--like two fires on a mountain. It evidently means _two active craters_ in a mountain. At least this rendering, without missing in sense, imparts a material sublimity to the passage rarely paralleled in literature. The commentator, however, takes the word to mean forest-conflagration.--T. [217] Under water.--T. [218] by his progress.--T. [219] The sense is hard to hit. The commentator says, that agitated by Hanuman's speed, the clouds began to pour down showers on the ocean.--T. _ [220] For his relationship with Wind whose son was Hanuman.--T. [221] Wrath in consequence of his inability to accept his offerings.--T. [222] _Pitupanthanam_--the text means "his father's path"--Wind being Hanuman's father the passage means--"aerial way."--T. [223] _Tat dristwa--Seeing this_, occurs twice in this passage, I render it once only.--T. [224] The third feat, remarks Ramanuya, is Hanuman's issuing oat of Surasa's mouth. The preceding two are not mentioned.--T. [225] A kind of alco or agallochum.--_Wilson_.--T. [226] Brahma had conferred on her a boon that she should secure her prey by pulling at it by means of its shadow.--T. [227] _i. e. of securing his shadow.--T_. [228] Garuda. SECTION II.
