Hoping to convince Hanuman to take the leap across the sea, Jambavan said, "Why do you sit so quietly Hanuman? Knowledgeable, valorous and well versed in all the Sastras you are an equal of Rama and Lakshmana. Why are you who are mightier than the mightiest in intelligence, courage and strength not aware of the fact. You are the son of Vayu, the god of wind and Anjana the most beautiful of Apsaras. Strong and indomitable even as a child, you mistook the Sun for a fruit and went chasing after it. You flew to such heights that Indra fearing harm to the world sent his Vajra at you. Struck by it you were thrown on a mountain, the impact of which broke your, chin! That is the reason why you are known as Hanuman, the one with the broken chin! Your father Vayu witnessing your fall was furious and stopped blowing in all the three worlds! Alarmed at this and trying to appease your father, Brahma granted you a boon rendering you inviolable to all weapons of war." As for Indra he was so relieved to see you smiling even after your injury that he gave you the best boon of all, declaring, "Your death will be of your own choosing!" So you alone who are as swift as Garuda and as powerful as Vayu can save us!" Inspired by Jambavan and elated at the cheering of the monkeys, who eagerly waited to witness the almost impossible feat, Hanuman was galvanized into action. Waving his tail gleefully, he grew his body to incredible proportions in preparation for the flight into Lanka.
