And they[270] were rendered inert in the field; and the army of the
monkey-leaders was stupified, with Sugriva and Nila and Angada and
Jambavan,--and they did not show any signs of activity. Thereupon,
seeing them dispirited, that foremost of intelligent
persons--Bibhishana--cheering them up with his peerless speech,
said,--"Ye heroes of the king of monkeys, do not give way to fear. This
is not the time to indulge in grief at this place; for the sons of the
noble one,[271]--inactive and depressed, and seeming to be wounded with
the showers of Indrajit's shafts,--are in reality in this plight, for
showing reverence unto the words[272] of the Self-sprung one.--On him
the Self-sprung hath conferred the mighty Brahma, weapon of unfailing
power; and the king's sons are doing honour to it by lying down on the
field of battle. Why then do ye grieve now?" Hearing the words of
Bibhishana and honoring the Brahma weapon, Hanuman spoke as
follows:--"The host of the quick-paced monkeys hath been slain by this
weapon. Let us go and console them who are still living". And those two
great heroes--Hanuman and that foremost of the Rakshasas, with
fire-brands in their hands, began to range to and fro in the battle
field. And they beheld there the earth strewn on all sides with monkeys
lying down like so many hills and various shining weapons. And some of
these monkeys were deprived of their tails, some of their hands, some of
their thighs, some of their legs, some of their fingers, and some of
their heads. And blood was gushing out from the persons of some, and
others were urinating out of fear. And Bibhishana and Hanuman beheld
there Sugriva, Angada, Nila, Gandhamldana, Jambavan, Sushena,
Vegadarshin, Mainda, Nala, Jyotimukha, and the monkey, Dwivida,--almost
slain. And Bibhishana and Hanuman saw in the field seven and sixty kotis
of fleet-footing monkeys slain (in battle) at the fifth part of the day
by the darling of the Self-sprung. And surveying that host worsted,
dreadful like the surges of the sea, Hanuman and Bibhishana began to
search for Jambavan. And finding that heroic son of Prajapati, afflicted
with natural decrepitude, aged, and resembling smouldering
fire,--wounded with hundreds of shafts, Pulastya's son said,--"O noble
one, hath not thy life been destroyed with those sharp shafts?" Hearing
Bibhishana's words, Jambavan--best of bears--evoking utterance with
extreme effort, said,--"O foremost of Nairitas, endowed with exceeding
prowess, I know thee by thy voice. Having my person pierced with sharp
shafts, I cannot see thee with my eyes. Doth he through whom Anjana as
well as Mataricwa[273] are blessed with fair offspring,--doth that
prince of monkeys--Hanuman--live?" Hearing Jambavan's speech, Bibhishaua
said,--"Why, passing by the son of the high and mighty,[274] dost thou
enquire after the Wind-god's offspring? O noble one, thou dost not show
that overflowing affection either for king Sugriva or Raghava that thou
showest for the son of the Wind-god". Hearing Bibhishana's words,
Jambavan said,--"Hear, O foremost of Rakshasas, why I enquire after the
Wind-god's son. While this hero is alive, this force, albeit destroyed,
liveth; but if Hanuman is reft of life, although living, we are
destroyed. O child, if the Wind-god's offspring, resembling his sire
himself or (the deity of) Fire in prowess, is alive, there is hope for
our lives". Then approaching that aged one, Hanuman--son unto the Wind
god--saluted him humbly, holding Jambavan's feet. Hearing Hanuman's
voice, that foremost of monkeys, with his senses sorely smarting, deemed
himself as having regained his life. Then that exceedingly energetic one
addressed Hanuman, saying,--"Come, O powerful monkey. It behoveth thee
to rescue the monkeys. There is none else. Endowed with profuse prowess,
thou art the greatest friend of these. This is the hour when thou
shouldst display thy might. Any other see I not. Do thou cheer up this
host consisting of bears and monkeys; and do thou also heal the wounds
of these two tormented by them. Bounding sheer over the main, thou, O
Hanuman, shouldst repair to the Himavan--foremost of mountains. There
thou wilt see that best of mountains--the golden Rishabha of terrific
aspect, and, smiter of foes, the peak also of Kailaca. Lying in the Up
of these two, thou, O hero, O powerful monkey, wilt see the mountain of
medicines, fraught with healing herbs of all kinds. On its summit thou
wilt find four medicinal herbs flaming and illumining the ten cardinal
quarters--_viz_., Mritasanjivani,[275] Vicalyakarani,[276]
Suvarnakarani,[277] and the mighty medicine, Sandhani. O Hanuman,
providing thyself with these, thou shouldst come hither without delay.
Do thou, O offspring of the Wind-god[278] bringing back lives unto these
monkeys, cheer them up". Thereat Hanuman filled himself with energy,
even as the Ocean heaveth with the force of the winds (blowing on its
breast). And ascending the summit of that mountain,[279] and hurting it
with his tread, that hero--Hanuman--appeared like a second mountain, And
crushed under the tread of that monkey, the mountain was dispirited; and
sore distressed, it could hardly contain itself. And the trees on it
began to topple to the earth; and on account of the vehemence of the
monkey, they flamed up. And smitten by Hanuman, its peaks were scattered
around. And monkeys could no longer dwell on that foremost of mountains,
which, being hard pressed (by Hanuman), was trembling all over, with its
slopes covered with broken trees and rocks. And with her giant gateways
shaking, and the doors of her edifices broken, that night Lanka,
overwhelmed with fright, seemed to be dancing. And the offspring of the
Wind-god, resembling a mountain itself, bringing that mountain to sore
straits, agitated the entire earth with her Oceans. And hurting the
mountain with his tread, he, opening wide his mouth resembling that of a
mare, sent up loud shouts, terrifying the night-rangers. And hearing
those tremendous roars as he kept emitting cries, the powerful Rakshasas
were quite stupified. And bowing down unto the Ocean, that subduer of
enemies, the Wind-god's son, endowed with dreadful prowess, began to
ponder over the mighty mission with which he had been entrusted in the
interests of Raghava.--And, then upraising his tail resembling a
serpent, bending his back, contracting his ears, and opening his mouth
looking like that of a mare, that one possessed of terrific impetuosity,
bounded into the sky. And with the vehemence of his rush,--he carried
away in his wake whole tracts of trees, and rocks, and crags, and
inferior monkeys;[280] and after having been carried away some distance
by the vehemence of his arms and thighs, they, at length losing their
velocity, fell into the waters (of the Ocean.) And stretching his arms
resembling serpents, the son of the Wind-god endowed with the prowess of
Garuda[281] coursed on towards the monarch of mountains, as if making
all the quarters tremble. And seeing the sea with its hosts of billows
rolling furiously, and with the confederacies of aquatic animals
bewildered by the angry waters, he coursed on rapidly, like the discus
discharged by the hand of Vishnu. And surveying hills and birds and
pools and rivers and tanks and splendid cities and flourishing
provinces, that one equal to his sire himself in celerity, held his way.
And that hero--Hanuman--like unto his father in prowess, and incapable
of being fatigued, vigorously proceeded along the orbit of the Sun. And
that powerful monkey possessed of the speed of the Wind itself, and
having mighty impetuosity, careered, making all sides resound with his
roars. And remembering Jambavan's words, that redoubtable monkey, son
unto the Wind-god, possessed of terrific prowess, and resembling a
mountain, suddenly saw (before him) the Himavan: furnished with
countless cascades and numerous caves and rivulets; with splendid
summits appearing like massess of pale clouds; and graced with various
trees. And arriving at that lord of mighty mountains, furnished with
excellent towering golden summits, he saw the great sacred asylums (of
the ascetics), inhabited by the flower of celestial saints. And he saw
Brahmakoca[282] and Rajatalaya[283] and Sakralaya[284] and
Rudracarapramoksha[285] and Hayanana[286] and the flaming
Brahmaciras,[287] and the servants of Vaivacwata.[288] And he saw the
abode of the Fire-god, and the abode of Vaicravana and the effulgent
Suryyanivandhana.[289] and the abode of Brahma,[290] and the bow of
Sankara, and the navel of the Earth.[291] And he saw Kailaca of terrific
aspect, and the stone[292] of Himavan, and that bull,[293] and the
golden mountain, and that foremost of mountains furnished with all
medicinal herbs, flaming, and illuminated with every kind of medicinal
plants. And beholding that flaming mass of fire, the offspring of
Vasava's[294] emissary wondered. And bounding up to the lord of
medicinal mountains, he fell to searching for the drugs. And that mighty
monkey--the Wind-god's son--leaving behind a thousand _yojanas_, began
to range the mountain containing the divine remedies in its entrails.
And those potent medicines, in that foremost of mountains, knowing
(before-hand) that one was coming seeking for them, rendered themselves
invisible. And not seeing them, the high-souled Hanuman was angered; and
from wrath he set up roars. And not brooking that, (Hanuman) with eyes
resembling glowing fire, addressed that foremost of mountains,
saying,--"What is this that thou hast decided on, that thou showest no
compassion for Raghava? But, O lord of mountains, to-day witness
thyself, overpowered by my arms and torn in pieces!" And (anon) on a
sudden, he violently rooted up its summit with trees and elephants and
gold, and furnished with a thousand varieties of ore,--having its tops
torn and its slopes aflame. And uprooting it, he sprang into (the bosom
of the air), terrifying the worlds containing celestials and the lords
thereof. And hymned by countless rangers of the air, that one endowed
with the terrific impetuosity of Garuda himself, taking that summit
furnished with the splendour of the Sun, went along the orbit of the
Sun. And near the Sun, that Sun-like one seemed to be another Sun. And
with that mountain, the offspring of the bearer of perfumes appeared
surpassingly grand, like very Vishnu equipped with the flaming discus
having a thousand edges. And seeing him, the monkeys shouted,--and he
also, seeing then, shouted in delight. And hearing their tremendous
cheers, those residing in Lanka shouted still more dreadfully. And then
the high-souled one dropped on that best of mountains in the midst of
the monkey-forces; and, bowing down unto the principal monkeys there, he
embraced Bibhishana. And then those sons of that king of men, smelling
the perfume of that mighty medicine, were then and there healed of their
wounds; and the heroic monkeys also sat up. And all the heroic monkeys
were instantly healed and cured; and those also that were slain (in
battle), through the smell of that best of drugs, sat up, like persons
risen after sleep at break of day. Ever since the monkeys and Rakshasas
had begun to fight, for maintaining honor, all those Rakshasas that were
slain there by the mighty monkeys, were thrown into the sea. Then that
monkey, the offspring of the bearer of fragrance, endowed with terrific
speed, took that medicinal mountain (back) unto Himavan and again
presented himself before Rama.
