tayostadāsāditayoraṇāgremumohasainyaṃharipuṅgavānām | sugrīvanīlāṅgadajāmbavanto na cāpikiñcitpratipedirete

The two brothers (Rama and Lakshmana) become unconscious in the forefront of the battle the monkey leaders lose senses. Sugriva, Neela, Angada and Jambavantha did not know What to do.

ततोविषण्णंसमवेक्ष्यसैन्यंविभीषणोबुद्धिमतांवरिष्ठः । उवाचशाखमृगराजवीरानाश्वासयन्नप्रतिमैर्वचोभिः ।।6.74.2।।

tatoviṣaṇṇaṃsamavekṣyasainyaṃvibhīṣaṇobuddhimatāṃvariṣṭhaḥ | uvācaśākhamṛgarājavīrānāśvāsayannapratimairvacobhiḥ

Thereafter, foremost among the wise, Vibheeshana observing the despondency of the monkey leaders spoke to them reassuring in incomparable words.

माभैष्टनास्त्यत्रविषादकालोयदार्यपुत्त्रौविवशौविषण्णौ । स्वयम्भुवोवाक्यमथोद्वहन्तौयत्सादिताविन्द्रजिदस्त्रजालैः ।।6.74.3।।

mābhaiṣṭanāstyatraviṣādakāloyadāryaputtrauvivaśauviṣaṇṇau | svayambhuvovākyamathodvahantauyatsāditāvindrajidastrajālaiḥ

"O Noble men! Do not fear. Rama and Lakshmana are afflicted by Indrajith's volley of arrows and have lost senses. They are despondent to honour the statement of the creator not otherwise."

tasmaitudattaṃparamāstrametatsvayambhuvābrāhmamamoghavegam | tanmānayantauyudhirājaputraunipātitauko'traviṣādakālaḥ

To him (Indrajith), the creator has conferred this weapon of Brahma endowed with terrific speed. To respect the missile both the princes have fallen. Why do you grieve?

ब्राह्ममस्त्रंततोधीमान्मानयित्वातुमारुतिः । विभीषणवचश्श्रुत्वाहनूमांस्तमथाब्रवीत् ।।6.74.5।।

brāhmamastraṃtatodhīmānmānayitvātumārutiḥ | vibhīṣaṇavacaśśrutvāhanūmāṃstamathābravīt

Thereafter, hearing Vibheeshana's words, wise Hanuman spoke this with respect to the missile of Brahma.

एतस्मिन्निहतेसैन्येवानराणांतरस्विनाम् । योयोधारयतेप्राणांस्तंतमाश्वासयाव ।।6.74.6।।

etasminnihatesainyevānarāṇāṃtarasvinām | yoyodhārayateprāṇāṃstaṃtamāśvāsayāva

tāvubhauyugapavadīrauhanūmadrākṣasottamau | ulkāhastautadārātrauraṇaśīrṣeviceratuḥ

The two heroes, Hanuman and Vibheeshana, and the foremost of Rakshasas with torch in hand searched for the left over Vanaras in the battlefield.

sāgaraughanibhaṃbhīmaṃdṛṣṭavābāṇārditaṃbalam | mārgatejāmbavantaṃsmihanūmān savibhīṣaṇaḥ

Vibheeshana and Hanuman seeing the ocean of Vanara army and the glowing arrows on them, looked for Jambavantha.

स्वभावजरयायुक्तंवृद्धंशरशतैश्चितम् । प्रजापतिसुतंवीरंशाम्यन्तमिवपावकम् ।।6.74.14।। दृष्टवातमुपसङ्ग्रम्यपौलस्त्योवाक्यमब्रवीत् ।

Paulastya (Vibheeshana of Paulastya clan), seeing the son of Prajapathi (Jambavan), who by nature was wise and aged, afflicted by hundreds of arrows, like a cooling fire sacrifice, went close by and spoke these words.

च्चिदार्यशरैस्तीक्ष्णैर्नप्राणाध्वंसितास्तव ।।6.74.15।। विभीषणवचश्श्रुत्वाजाम्बवानृक्षपुङ्गवः । कृच्छ्रादभ्युग्दिरन्वाक्यमिदंवचनमब्रवीत् ।।6.74.16।।

"O Noble Jambavan! Indeed, your life has not been afflicted with these sharp arrows." Hearing this, Jambavan uttered these words with difficulty."

च्चिदार्यशरैस्तीक्ष्णैर्नप्राणाध्वंसितास्तव ।।6.74.15।। विभीषणवचश्श्रुत्वाजाम्बवानृक्षपुङ्गवः । कृच्छ्रादभ्युग्दिरन्वाक्यमिदंवचनमब्रवीत् ।।6.74.16।।

nairṛtendramahāvīryasvareṇatvā'bhilakṣye | pīḍyamānaśaśitairbāṇairnatvāpaśyāmicakṣuṣā

"Great hero, Vibheeshana! I recognise you by your voice. Pierced with sharp arrows I am not able to see you."

अञ्जनासुप्रजायेनमातरिश्वा च नैरृत । हनुमान् वानरश्रेष्ठःप्राणान् धारयतेक्वचित् ।।6.74.18।।

añjanāsuprajāyenamātariśvā ca nairṛta | hanumān vānaraśreṣṭhaḥprāṇān dhārayatekvacit

Vibheeshana (Rakshasa)! Indeed, Hanuman, the foremost of Vanaras, by whose birth, Anjana and Supraja are blessed as parents, are they alive?

श्रुत्वाजाम्बवतोवाक्यमुवाचेदंविभीषणः । आर्यपुत्रावतिक्रम्यकस्मात्पृच्छसिमारुतिम् ।।6.74.19।।

śrutvājāmbavatovākyamuvācedaṃvibhīṣaṇaḥ | āryaputrāvatikramyakasmātpṛcchasimārutim

After hearing Jambavantha, Vibheeshana said "Noble son, why are you enquiring about Hanuman?"

नैवराजनिसुग्रीवेनाङ्गदेनापिराघवे । आर्यसन्दर्शितस्स्नेहोयथावायुसुतेपरः ।।6.74.20।।

naivarājanisugrīvenāṅgadenāpirāghave | āryasandarśitassnehoyathāvāyusuteparaḥ

"Noble one! You are showing affection to Hanuman but not to King Sugriva, or Angada or even Raghava?"

विभीषणवचश्श्रुत्वाजाम्बवान्वाक्यमब्रवीत् । शृणुनैरृतशार्दूलयस्मात् पृच्छामिमारुतिम् ।।6.74.21।।

vibhīṣaṇavacaśśrutvājāmbavānvākyamabravīt | śṛṇunairṛtaśārdūlayasmāt pṛcchāmimārutim

On hearing Vibheeshana, the tiger among Rakshasas, Jambavan replied, "Listen why I enquired about Maruthi."

तस्मिन्जीवतिवीरेतुहतमप्यहतंबलम् । हनूमत्युज्झितप्राणेजीवन्तोऽपिवयम् हृता ।।6.74.22।।

tasminjīvativīretuhatamapyahataṃbalam | hanūmatyujjhitaprāṇejīvanto'pivayam hṛtā

If this hero Hanuman is alive, even if the army is destroyed and if we are alive, it is like dead only.

धरतेमारुतिस्तातमारुतप्रतिमोयदि । वैश्वानरसमोवीर्वेजीविताशाततोभवेत् ।।6.74.23।।

dharatemārutistātamārutapratimoyadi | vaiśvānarasamovīrvejīvitāśātatobhavet

"Dear! If Hanuman who is equal to wind god, resembles Vyshvanara (God of fire) is breathing, then we can hope to live (for life)."

ततोवृद्धमुपागम्यनियमेनाभ्यवादयत् । गृह्यजाम्बवतःपादौहनूमान्मारुतात्मजः ।।6.74.24।।

tatovṛddhamupāgamyaniyamenābhyavādayat | gṛhyajāmbavataḥpādauhanūmānmārutātmajaḥ

Thereafter, Hanuman the son of the wind god coming close to the aged Jambavan clasped his feet in accordance with tradition and greeted him.

श्रुत्वाहनुमतोवाक्यंतदाऽपिव्यथितेन्द्रियः । पुनर्जातमिवात्मानंमन्यतेप्लवगोत्तमः ।।6.74.25।।

śrutvāhanumatovākyaṃtadā'pivyathitendriyaḥ | punarjātamivātmānaṃmanyateplavagottamaḥ

Then again, Jambavan whose senses were affected, on hearing the statement of Hanuman, the foremost of Vanaras, felt as though he was born again.

ततोऽब्रवीन्महातेजाहनूमन्तं स जाम्बवान् । आगच्छहरिशार्दूल वानरांस्त्रातुमर्हसि ।।6.74.26।।

tato'bravīnmahātejāhanūmantaṃ sa jāmbavān | āgacchahariśārdūla vānarāṃstrātumarhasi

Then brilliant Jambavan spoke to Hanuman, the tiger among Vanaras, on reaching him. "You ought to protect the Vanaras."

नान्योवक्रमपर्याप्तस्त्वमेषांपरमस्सखा । त्वत्पराक्रमकालोऽयंनान्यंपश्यामिकथञ्चन ।।6.74.27।।

nānyovakramaparyāptastvameṣāṃparamassakhā | tvatparākramakālo'yaṃnānyaṃpaśyāmikathañcana

"You are fully endowed with prowess and great friend of monkeys in that way. It is time for you to show your talent. Indeed, I do not see anyone else."

ऋक्ष्वानरवीराणामनीकानिप्रहर्षय । शल्यौकुरुचाप्येतासादितौरामलक्ष्मणौ ।।6.74.28।।

ṛkṣvānaravīrāṇāmanīkānipraharṣaya | śalyaukurucāpyetāsāditaurāmalakṣmaṇau

For the Bears and Vanaras, create excessive happiness. For Rama and Lakshmana who are unconscious, make them comfortable.

गत्वापरममध्वानमुपर्युपरिसागरम् । हिमवन्तंनगश्रेष्ठंहनुमन्गन्तुमर्हसि ।।6.74.29।।

gatvāparamamadhvānamuparyuparisāgaram | himavantaṃnagaśreṣṭhaṃhanumangantumarhasi

"Hanuman, you ought to go very far over the sea to the Himalayas, the highest mountain."

ततःकाञ्चनमत्युच्चमृषभंपर्वतोत्तमम् । कैलासशिखरंचापिद्रक्ष्यस्यरिनिषूदन ।।6.74.30।।

tataḥkāñcanamatyuccamṛṣabhaṃparvatottamam | kailāsaśikharaṃcāpidrakṣyasyariniṣūdana

"O Destroyer of enemies! there on top you will see the foremost of the mountain Rshaba and on the peak of Kailasa."

तयोशशिखरयोर्मध्येप्रदीप्तमतुलप्रभम् । सर्यौषधियुतंवीर द्रक्ष्यस्यौषधिपर्यतम् ।।6.74.31।।

tayośaśikharayormadhyepradīptamatulaprabham | saryauṣadhiyutaṃvīra drakṣyasyauṣadhiparyatam

"Heroic Hanuman! In the middle of those two mountains, you will see a highly splendid mountain covered with all kinds of medicinal herbs."

तस्यवानरशार्दूल चतस्रो मूधि सम्भवाः । द्रक्ष्यस्योषधयोदीप्तादीपय्नत्योदिशोदश ।।6.74.32।।

tasyavānaraśārdūla catasro mūdhi sambhavāḥ | drakṣyasyoṣadhayodīptādīpaynatyodiśodaśa

"O Tiger among monkeys! You will see on the summit four medicinal herbs growing there illuminating the ten directions."

मृतसञ्जीवनींचैवविशल्यकरणीमपि । सुवर्णकरणींचैवसन्धानकरणींतथा ।।6.74.33।।

mṛtasañjīvanīṃcaivaviśalyakaraṇīmapi | suvarṇakaraṇīṃcaivasandhānakaraṇīṃtathā

"Mrtasanjivani, Visalyakarani, Suvarnakarani, Sandhani, all these herbs are grown there."

तास्सर्वाहनुमन्गृह्वक्षिप्रमागन्तुमर्हसि । आश्वासयहरीन् प्राणैर्योज्यगन्धवहात्मज ।।6.74.34।।

tāssarvāhanumangṛhvakṣipramāgantumarhasi | āśvāsayaharīn prāṇairyojyagandhavahātmaja

"Hanuman, taking the four herbs you, the son of wind god ought to return immediately with the speed of wind, to unite the life of the monkeys and reassure."

श्रुत्वाजाम्बवतोवाक्यंहनूमान् हरिपुङ्गवः । आपूर्यतबलोद्धर्षैस्तोयवेगैरिवार्णवः ।।6.74.35।।

śrutvājāmbavatovākyaṃhanūmān haripuṅgavaḥ | āpūryatabaloddharṣaistoyavegairivārṇavaḥ

"Hearing the instruction of Jambavantha, the son of the wind god, infused with wind speed as the ocean, heaves with the force of wind increasing his strength fully."

पर्वततटाग्रस्थःपीडयन् पर्वतोत्तमम् । हनूमान्दृश्यतेवीरोद्वितीयइवपर्वतः ।।6.74.36।।

parvatataṭāgrasthaḥpīḍayan parvatottamam | hanūmāndṛśyatevīrodvitīyaivaparvataḥ

Standing on the summit of the foremost of the mountains, hero Hanuman pressing his feet seemed like a second mountain

हरिपादविनिर्भग्नोनिषसाद स पर्वतः । न शशाकतदात्मानंसोढुंभृशनिपीडितः ।।6.74.37।।

haripādavinirbhagnoniṣasāda sa parvataḥ | na śaśākatadātmānaṃsoḍhuṃbhṛśanipīḍitaḥ

Trodden by the feet of Hanuman that mountain pressed forcibly by himself could not bear his strength.

तस्यपेतुर्नगाभूमौहरिवेगाच्चजज्वलुः । शृङ्गाणि च व्यशीर्यन्तपीडितस्यहनूमता ।।6.74.38।।

tasyapeturnagābhūmauharivegāccajajvaluḥ | śṛṅgāṇi ca vyaśīryantapīḍitasyahanūmatā

Oppressed by the speed of Hanuman, the mountain fell to the ground and by the impetuosity of his speed the mountain got shattered.

तस्मिन् सम्पीड्यमानेतुभग्नद्रुमशिलातले । न शेकुर्वानरास्स्थातुंघूर्णमानेनगोत्तमे ।।6.74.39।।

tasmin sampīḍyamānetubhagnadrumaśilātale | na śekurvānarāssthātuṃghūrṇamānenagottame

As the foremost of the mountain got oppressed it crushed the trees and rocks on it and Vanaras were unable to stand on it.

साघूर्णितमहाद्वाराप्रभग्नगृहगोपुरा । लङ्कात्रासाकुलारात्रौप्रवृत्तेवाभवत्तदा ।।6.74.40।।

sāghūrṇitamahādvārāprabhagnagṛhagopurā | laṅkātrāsākulārātraupravṛttevābhavattadā

Then the mighty gates of Lanka shaking, homes shattered, stricken with fear that night it seemed Lanka was dancing.

पृथिवीधरसङ्काशोनिपीड्यधरणीधरम् । पृथिवींक्षोभयामाससार्णवांमारुतात्मजः ।।6.74.41।।

pṛthivīdharasaṅkāśonipīḍyadharaṇīdharam | pṛthivīṃkṣobhayāmāsasārṇavāṃmārutātmajaḥ

Son of the wind god, who was like a mountain supported by earth, pressing hard caused the earth with its ocean to shake.

From that mountain the monkey sprang to Malaya Mountain which was like Meru and Mandara mountains. It was set with various springs, covered with various trees and creepers, abounded with lotuses, frequented by Devas, Gandharvas. It was sixty yojanas high and visited by Vidhyadharas, celestial nymphs, and sages, filled with various species of deer and numerous caves. Yakshas, Gandharvas, and Kinnaras were living there. There the son of the wind god grew in size like a cloud.
