mahābalaḥ mighty, hanumān Hanuman, saṅstūyamānaḥ being praised, harṣāt joyfully, balam strength, upēyivān assumed, lāṅgūlam tail, samāvidhya whirling, vyavardhata grew.

vivṛddhaḥ grown, girigahvarē in a mountain cave, siṅhaḥ lion, yathā as, vijṛmbhatē he stretches himself, mārutasya Wind-god's, aurasaḥ putraḥ lawful son, samprati at that time, tathā like that, jṛmbhatē grew.

harīṇām from the monkeys, madhyāt from the midst, utthitaḥ he rose, samprahṛṣṭatanūruhaḥ with the hair bristling on the body, hanumān Hanuman, vṛddhān elderly, harīn monkeys (Jambavan), abhivādya saluted reverentially, idam this word, abravīt said.

śīghravēgasya swift-moving god's, śīghragasya of a swift one, mahātmanaḥ of a great one, tasya his,
mārutasya Wind-god's, aurasaḥ putraḥ lawful-son, aham I am, plavanēna in leaping, tatsamaḥ equal to him, asmi I am.

aham I, bāhuvēgapraṇunnēna can drive away with my arms with high speed, sāgarēṇa the ocean, saparvatanadīhradam with mountains, rivers and lakes, lōkam world, plāvayitum to submerge, utsahē eager.

pannagāśanam a consumer of snakes, the Garuda, pakṣisēvitē occupied by birds, ākāśē in the sky, patantam flying, vainatēyam to son of Vinata (Garuda), sahasraśaḥ a thousand times, parigantum to go round, aham I, śaktaḥ able.

ākāśagōcarān those that fly in the sky, sarvān all, atikrāntum to overtake, utsahēyam easily, sāgaraṅ ocean, kṣōbhayiṣyāmi I will stir up, mēdinīm earth, dārayiṣyāmi I will tear up.

adya now, vihāyasā through the sky, plavamānam as I leap, mām me, latānām of creepers, pādapānāṅ ca and of trees, vividham many, puṣpam flower, sarvaśaḥ all over, anuyāsyanti will follow me.

vānarā: O monkeys, mahāmērupratīkāśam like the great mount Meru, divam sky, āvṛtya after enveloping, gacchantam while I go, ambaram the sky, grasamānam iva like the one swallowing the sky, mām me, drakṣyatha you will see.

vainatēyasya Garuda's, mārutasya vā Maruta's, yā such, śaktiḥ capacity, sā that, mama my, plutam flying, mām me, yat such, bhūtam a creature, anuvrajēt that can follow, tat that, suparṇarājānam king of vultures, mahājavam speedy, mārutaṅ vā ṛtē or excepting the wind, na prapaśyāmi I do not see.

sāgarē in the ocean, plavamānasya while I am leaping over, mē my, rūpam form, purā earlier, trīn three, vikramān strides, prakramamāṇasya who advanced, viṣṇōḥ iva like Visnu, bhaviṣyati will be

vēgē in speed, mārutasya Maruta's, samaḥ equal, javē in rapidity, garuḍasya Garuda's, samaḥ equal, yōjanānām of yojanas, ayutam ten thousand, gamiṣyāmīti I will go, mē my, matiḥ feeling.

tatra there, ēvam in that way, garjantam roaring aloud, amitaujasam shining brilliantly, tam him, vānaraśrēṣṭham best of monkeys, harayaḥ monkeys, prahṛṣṭāḥ joyful, vismitāḥ amazed, samudaikṣanta all looked at him.

vīra! O hero, kēsariṇaḥ Kesari's, putra son, mārutātmaja! O son of Marutha, tāta O dear, tvayā by you, jñātīnām of the kith and kin, vipulaḥ profound, śōkaḥ grief, praṇāśitaḥ has been removed.

ṛṣīṇām of sages, prasādēna by the grace, kapivṛddhamatēna ca elderly monkeys', gurūṇām of elderlies, prasādēna by grace, ca and, tvam you, mahārṇavam vast ocean, plavasya cross.

tataḥ then, hariśārdūlaḥ tiger among monkeys, tān to those, vanaukasaḥ monkeys, uvāca said, iyaṅ this, mahī earth, mama my, vēgam speed, laṅghanē while crossing, na dhārayiṣyati it cannot sustain.

nānādrumavikīrṇēṣu scattered with different kinds of trees, dhātuniṣyandaśōbhiṣu shining with different kinds of minerals, ēṣa: here I am, mahēndraśikharēṣu peaks of mountain Mahendra, aham I, vēgam speed, kariṣyāmi I will do.

tataḥ then, mārutaprakhyaḥ as eminent as the Wind-god, mārutātmajaḥ son of the Wind-god, arimardanaḥ crusher of enemies, saḥ hariḥ that monkey, nānāvidhaiḥ with several, vṛkṣaiḥ trees, vṛtam covered, mṛgasēvitaśādvalam grassy land inhabited by deer, latākusumasambādham filled with creepers and fragrant flowers, nityapuṣpaphaladrumam ever with trees full of flowers and fruits, siṅhaśārdūlacaritaṅ where lions and tigers move, mattamātaṅgasēvitam inhabited by proud elephants, mattadvijagaṇōdghuṣṭam filled with flocks of intoxicated birds, salilōtpīḍasaṅkulam full of water falls, nagaśrēṣṭham great mountain, mahēndram Mahendra, ārurōha ascended.

mahātmanā by great self, tēna by him, bāhubhyām with both his shoulders, pīḍitaḥ crushed, mahāśailaḥ mighty mountain, siṅhābhihataḥ struck by a lion, mattaḥ proud, mahān great, dvipaḥ iva like an elephant, rarāja looked.

tadā then, saḥ mahāgiriḥ that great mountain, pānasaṅsargakarkaśaiḥ by those whose behaviour was rough in a drunken state, nānāgandharvamithunaiḥ by different groups of copulating gandharvas, utpatadbhi: by those flying, vihagaiśca by birds in the sky, vidyādharagaṇairapi hosts of vidyadharas, tyajyamānamahāsānuḥ abandoned by the vast mountain slopes, sannilīnamahōragaḥ with serpents resting, calaśṛṅgaśilōdghātaḥ the rocks shaken up on mountain tops, abhūt appeared.

trāsasambhrāntai: by those alarmed and agitated, ṛṣibhiḥ by sages, tyajyamānaḥ being abandoned, śilōccayaḥ the mountain, sārthahīnaḥ berefit of a caravan, mahati in a great, kāntārē in the forest, sīdan while worrying, adhvagaḥ iva like the traveller.
