Then the mountain bitten by the angry and venomous snakes and burnt by the fire broke into thousands of pieces. The medicinal plants capable of counteracting the poisons, grown on the mountain were not enough to neutralize the poison ( spewed by the snakes).

Wonder struck women wearing necklaces , anklets and armlets stayed in the sky with their lovers smiling gently. The great seers among Vidyadharas, proficient in all studies, were also watching the mountain, staying up in the sky.

Then the sounds of seers who are seekers of truth, Siddhas, Charanas who stay in the skies were heard. ( They said ) 'This son of wind god, swift Hanuman of the size of a mountain is desiring to cross the ocean which is the abode of crocodiles. For the sake of Rama and for the sake of Vanaras, to achieve a difficult task he wants to reach the other shore of the ocean which is difficult to reach '.

The Vidyadharas having heard the words of the ascetics, saw Hanuman the bull among Vanaras whose strength is unmeasurable. The great one as huge as a mountain shook his hair on his body and produced a great sound thundering like a cloud. Like the king of birds shaking a serpent, he shook his tail covered with hair in order to take off.

ślō|| tasya lāṅgūlamāviddha mātta vēgasya pr̥ṣṭhataḥ|

The tail curled at his back looked like the great serpent being carried off by Garuda. The Vanara pressing down his arms looking like iron clubs firmly on the mountain, crouched his waist and contracted his feet.

ślō|| saṁhr̥tya ca bhujau śrīmān tathaiva ca śirōdharām|

The glorious Hanuman contracted his shoulders and the head similarly, and summoned up energy as well as vigor. Setting up his eyes to look up in the direction in which he has to leap , he restrained his breath in his chest.

ślō|| padbhyāṁ dr̥ḍhamavasthānaṁ kr̥tvā sa kapikuṁjaraḥ|

The elephant among the Vanaras, keeping his feet firmly in that position, contracting his ears, ready to fly said the following to the Vanaras.

ślō|| yathā rāghava nirmuktaḥ śśaraśśvasana vikramaḥ |

With the speed of wind, like the arrow released by Rama (I) will go the Lanka ruled by Ravana. If I do not see Janaka's daughter in Lanka, then with the same speed I will go to the abode of gods,

ślō|| yadi vā tridivē sītāṁ na drakṣyā myakr̥ta śramaḥ|

If I do not find Sita in heaven in spite of all my efforts, then I will bind that king of Rakshasas and bring him here. By all means completing my task I will come back here along with Sita. Otherwise I will uproot Lanka along with Ravana and bring him here l

ślō|| ēvamuktvātu hanumān vānarān vānarōttamaḥ |

Having said this to Vanaras the best among Vanaras, the swift Hanuman leaped without any effort. The elephant among Vanaras thought himself like the bird Suparna.

ślō|| samutpatati tasmiṁstu vēgāttē naga rōhiṇaḥ|

As he took off with speed, all the trees with branches flew along with him. The speed of his thighs uprooted the trees full of flowers along with the intoxicated birds on the tree as he coursed along the cloudless sky.

ślō|| ūru vēgōddhatā vr̥kṣā muhūrtaṁ kapi manvayuḥ|

Pulled along by the speed of his thighs, the trees followed for a distance like the relatives follow the kin on a long journey. Uprooted by the force of his thighs, Sala trees and other great trees followed him like the army following the king.

With many trees having blossoms at the top following him, the Vanara, mountain like Hanuman appeared in a fantastic form. Then the huge trees fell into the ocean like the mountains which fell into the sea out of fear of Indra.

Covered with many different kinds of flowers , buds and sprouts spread over like a cloud, Hanuman shone brightly like a mountain covered with fireflies. Free of his speed the trees shedding the flowers fell off into the sea like the friends who return after following for some distance.

Driven by the wind caused by the speed of the Vanara, the trees with variety of flowers being light fell on the ocean. The trees and flowers being light rose up in the sea and the sea shone like the sky with stars.

Stuck with flowers of different colors , the Vanara looked like the clouds glowing with lightnings. The sea water, with the flowers dropped by his speed, looked like the firmament with rising stars.

The air passing through the arm pits of the lion among Vanaras crossing the ocean sounded like a thundering cloud. The elephant like Vanara appeared like a meteor released from the northern part following a path in the sky falling down ( in the southern hemisphere).

Looking like the moving sun coursing through the sky, the broad Vanara with tail bound around his girth looked like an elephant bound round the waist. With Vanara on the top, his shadow on the ocean looked like a ship swept by the wind.

Whichever place over which he flew those places ( in the ocean) appeared as riotous with eddies being formed because of the speed of his thighs. As the Vanara flew with high speed then the oceanic waves seemed to rise up to mountainous proportions as though touching his chest.

The forceful wind generated by the mighty Vanara, which was rushing towards the wind generated by the clouds which were agitating the ocean violently, generated dreadful sounds. As the tiger among the Vanaras flew forward, it looked like he is occupying the intermediary space between the sky and the earth.

The Hanuman who is travelling at high speed seemed to be counting the mighty waves like Meru and Mandara as he crossed. The waters pushed up by his speed, along with the clouds in the sky shone like out stretched autumnal clouds.

Then the whales crocodiles and tortoises appeared bare like bodies without clothes . Seeing Hanuman the tiger among Vanaras, coursing through the sky the serpents in the ocean thought him to be Garuda.

The ten Yojana wide thirty Yojana long Vanaras shadow appeared more pleasing. The broad shadow of the son of wind god , following him shone like a dark row of clouds sailing in the sky.

Glorious Vanara with great body coursing through the skies without any support looked like a mountain with wings. As this powerful Vanara who is like elephant among Vanaras, was proceeding swiftly along, the ocean below looked instantly like a valley between two mountains ( by the force of the winds generated by his flight).

Hanuman like the wind pulling along clouds with him looked like the king of birds attracting flocks of birds while landing. The Vanara while drawing large clouds of white or red blue or yellow looked charming.

Entering and leaving strings of clouds, he looked like the moon that appears and disappears. Then seeing Hanuman crossing the ocean quickly the Devas. Gandharvas, Danavas showered flowers on him.

The Vanara coursing through the skies to achieve the purpose of Rama , is not troubled by the Sun's heat and even the wind served his purpose. The flying Hanuman was extolled by sages and the delighted Devas and Gandharvas praised him and sang too.

Seeing the untiring Hanuman the all the Nagas Yakshas, Rakshasas , learned ones, as well as all other birds praised him. While the tiger among Vanaras was flying across the ocean , the ocean who wishes well for the Ikshavakus started thinking.

If I do not help the leader of the Vanaras , all the wise ones will forever blame me. I have been nurtured by Sagara, the Ikshwaku king. This Vanara being a minister of Ikshwakus, it is my duty to help him. I should help so that he can get rest. Resting on me he will leap over easily.

The Sagara having made up his mind , spoke to the best of mountains hidden in the waters. ' Oh Best of mountains ! You are here as a barrier for the legions of Asura groups who are the residents of the nether world.'

' Oh Golden peaked one ! You having been visited upon by Devas and Gandharvas. Hanuman may rest on you and then proceed to cover the rest (of the ocean). Considering the noble nature of Ikshavakus, the kidnapping of Mithila's daughter, Hanuman's efforts, you ought to rise up'.

The golden peaked mountain, full of great trees, hidden in the salty waters, having heard this immediately came up from the waters. Then the mountain rose up from the waters like the Sun comes up through water laden clouds.

Deployed in the waters in a moment, Hanuman the great soul saw the mountain peaks. He saw the mountain with Nagas and Kinnaras, with golden peaks which are as if scraping the sky, resembling the rising Sun,

With the mountains peaks of burnished gold the sky assumed the burnished gold color of weapons. The self-effulgent glittering golden peaks , that best of mountains shone like thousand Suns.

Hanuman thought that the one standing in front of him which rose up from the water of the sea , surely as an obstruction. The speedy Vanara, pushed that instantly risen up one with his chest like wind pushes the clouds away.

Thus pushed down by the Vanara , the best of mountains having realized the Vanaras speed, felt happy and roared too. The mountain , delighted, happily assuming the form of a human, standing on his peaks, spoke to the mighty Vanara flying in the sky.

'Oh chief of Vanaras ! So the wind god is worthy of worship for me. So I am worshipping you. My relationship with you is great. Oh great Vanara ! Being deployed in this action, you deserve to please us, the Sagara and myself. Oh best of Vanaras ! Relieving your fatigue, receiving our worship accepting our love, you may oblige us. I am delighted in seeing you'

My time limit is approaching. The day is also coming to its end. Taken a vow not to stop in the middle. The mighty Hanuman having said this touching the mountain with his hand, entering the sky moved on with a smile .

The son of wind god was adored by the mountain , and was honored with proper blessings. Then leaving the mountain and the great ocean , Hanuman jumped up into the clear sky taking the path of his father, and flew away.

ślō|| bhūyaścōrdhvagatiṁ prāpya giriṁ taṁ avalōkayan |

The son of wind god again attaining higher path , looking at the mountain went in to the sky without any support. Seeing the accomplishment of the second such difficult to perform task being performed by Hanuman , the Suras , Siddhas and the venerable sages praised him.

The Devas who were present there as well as the thousand eyed Vasava too were delighted by the gesture of the golden Mainaka mountain. Indra, the wise husband of Sachi satisfied spoke to Sunabha, the best of mountains , with a choked voice of happiness.

'Oh Hiranyagarbha ! the best of mountains, I am very happy with you. Oh Pious one! I am giving you my protection. You rest as you please. While leaping a hundred Yojanas , though there is reason to fear, the fearless Hanuman is unafraid and great deed was done'.

'This Vanara is working for Rama's well-being only. I am very happy with the service offered to him'. Then the best of mountains seeing the happiness of the king of Devas, Indra experienced a delight. Then the Mountain having been given a boon became stable. Hanuman also moved on across the ocean."

Then the Devas, Gandharvas along with Siddhas and great ascetics spoke to Surasa the mother of serpents who is shining like the Sun. ' This illustrious son of wind god, named Hanuman is flying across the ocean. You provide him an obstruction for a moment'.

' Assume a hideous form of a demon, gigantic like a mountain , with big teeth, yellow brown eyes, with opening mouth like a sky. We want to know again his strength and prowess. Whether he will win with intelligence or faces sorrow'.

ślō|| ēvamuktā tu sā dēvī daivatairabhisatkr̥tā |

Thus having been told by Devas and receiving their honors , that lady demon presented herself in the middle of the ocean. Then the ugly and terrifying form surrounding Hanuman who was flying and said the following.

ślō|| mamabhakṣaḥ pradiṣṭastvaṁ īśvarairvānararṣabha |

Oh Bull among Vanaras ! The Lord has sent you as my food. I will eat you. Enter my mouth. Having been told by thus by Surasa , with a happy and willing countenance the illustrious one said the following words.

'The son of Dasaratha by name Rama, along with his brother Lakshmana and his wife Sita entered the Dandaka forest. While Rama was engaged otherwise by Rakshasas with deep rooted enmity, his wife Sita , a glorious lady has been abducted by Ravana'.

' I am his messenger going on his command. Oh Resident of his kingdom ! It is proper for you to help Rama. Or else after seeing Mythili and Rama who makes difficult things look easy I will come back to your mouth. I am telling you the truth'.

Having been told thus by Hanuman, Surasa said none can cross me. That is my boon. The mother of serpents Surasa desirous of knowing Hanuman's strength , addressed these words to Hanuman who was attempting to go away.

'Oh Best of Vanaras today enter my mouth quickly and then you may go. Such is my boon given to me by Brahma , the creator'. She opened her mouth wide and stood in front of Maruti. Having been told thus by Surasa the Vanara became angry.

ślō|| abravītkuruvai vaktraṁ yēna māṁ viṣahiṣyasē|

The Vanara said open the mouth that which can bear me . So saying, the angry Hanuman grew ten Yojanas wide and ten Yojanas long. Seeing the ten Yojanas wide Hanuman looking like a cloud, Surasa too stretched her mouth wide by twenty Yojanas.

The Hanuman also being angry stretched his body to thirty Yojanas. Surasa then stretched her mouth to forty Yojanas. Then the hero Hanuman became fifty Yojana high. Then Surasa became sixty Yojanas wide. In the same way Hanuman grew to seventy Yojanas. Surasa became eighty Yojana wide. Then Hanuman grew to ninety Yojanas like a mountain. Then Surasa's mouth became hundred Yojanas wide.

The very intelligent Hanuman seeing the terrifying mouth with long tongue thus opened , made himself to be of the size of a thumb. The illustrious and mighty Hanuman quickly entered her mouth and came out. Standing in the sky said the following words.

ślō|| praviṣṭō'smi hi tē vaktraṁ dākṣāyanī namōstutē|

' Dakshyani ! I have entered your mouth. You boon has come true. Salutations to you. I will go where Vaidehi is' . Seeing the Vanara like Moon released from the mouth of Rahu, Surasa assuming her own form said the following.

ślō|| arthasidhyai hariśrēṣṭha gacchasaumya yathāsukham|

"Oh The best of Vanaras ! Proceed to accomplish your task. Unite Vaidehi with Raghava". Seeing that accomplishment of a third task which is difficult to accomplish all creatures praised Hanuman and said 'very good, very good'

Hanuman , the son of wind god, being seen everywhere in the sky, was looking like a mountain with wings flying unsupported in the sky. Seeing that Hanuman flying like that, a Rakshasi by name Simhika who can assume any form expanded in her size started thinking.

ślō|| adya dīrghasya kālasya bhaviṣyāmyahamāśitā |

' After a long time this great being has come into my fold. Today I will be satiated' . (Simhika) having thought like this , pulled his shadow. Being held by the shadow the Vanara started thinking.

'Like the ship in the sea caught by the opposing wind, I have been caught and become powerless'. Then Hanuman looking up down, across saw the great creature risen up in the waters of the sea.

Maruti seeing that ugly faced one started thinking. This is no doubt the amazing to look at , powerful creature capable of capturing the shadow, as told by the King of Vanaras. The wise Hanuman recognizing the true nature of Simhika, grew like a cloud in a rainy season.

That Simhika extended her mouth having the depth of underworld. Roaring like heavy clouds, she ran towards the Vanara. Then the great intelligent Vanara saw the enormous open mouth and body alone and vital parts too.

The mighty Vanara with thunderbolt like physiques contracted himself and entered her open mouth. The Siddhas and Charanas saw him drowning in her mouth like the full moon on the on the full moon day being grabbed by Rahu.

ślō|| tatastasyā nakhaistīkṣṇairmarmāṇyutkr̥tya vānaraḥ|

Then the Vanara tearing her vital parts with his sharp nails with the speed of mind in action quickly rushed out. The self-controlled great Vanara, with firmness of mind and ingenuity, seeing her threw her down again and rapidly grew in size.

ślō|| hr̥tahr̥tsā hanumāta papāta vidhurā'mbhasi|

With the heart torn , the miserable one instantly killed by Hanuman dropped down in the sea. Seeing her who has fallen down the beings who travel the sky addressed the best of Vanaras. ' Oh best of flyers ! Today you have killed a great being. Fierce task was done. Fulfil your mission unobstructed'.

'Oh Best of Vanaras ! The one who has fortitude, vision, intelligence and dexterity like you will achieve his mission and will not be lost '. The venerable one that Vanara thus honored having ascended the skies flew like Garuda to achieve his objective.

Having reached the other shore as he looked around, the Vanara saw rows of trees at the end of hundred Yojanas. Hanuman the best among creatures that jump on trees , even while flying saw the island adorned with many trees and garden bordering the Malaya mountain.

Looking at the ocean he observed the sea, the land bordering the sea, the trees grown on the land bordering the sea, and the mouth of the branches of the sea , looking at his own body of the size of a cloud as though obstructing the sky thought as follows.

ślō|| kāyavr̥ddhiṁ pravēgaṁ ca mamadr̥ṣṭvaiva rākṣasāḥ||195||

The great Vanara thought that seeing my increased size of body and the speed the Rakshasas will be inquisitive about me. Then having contracted his body which is like a mountain, getting rid of his attachment, once again resumed his normal form.

ślō|| tadrūpa mati saṁkṣipya hanumān prakr̥tau sthitaḥ||

sa|| hanumān tat rūpaṁ atisaṁkṣipya balivīryaharaḥ hariḥ trīn kramān vikramya iva prakr̥tau sthitaḥ ||

Then Hanuman contracting himself to be of a very small size , like Vishnu the vanquisher of Bali with three steps, stood in his normal form.

ślō|| sa cārunānāvidharūpadhārī

sa|| cārunānāvidharūpadhārī paraiḥ aśakyaḥ saḥ paraṁ samudratīram samāsādya samīkṣitātmā pratipannarūpaḥ samavēkṣitārthaḥ||

The one who can take different forms, having reached the other shore of the ocean which is impossible for others, looking at his own self assumed a form suitable for the purpose.

ślō|| tatassalambasya girēḥ samr̥ddhē

sa|| tataḥ mahātrikūṭapratimaḥ saḥ mahātmā lambasya girēḥ vicitrakūṭē samr̥ddhē sakētakōddālakanālikērē pratimau nipapāta kūṭē||

Then the great soul , who resembled a great mountain descended on the top of Lamba mountain which is full of fruits and blossoms of Ketaka, Uddalaka, Narikela tress with many wonderful peaks.

ślō|| tatastu saṁprāpya samudra tīraṁ

Having reached the seashore, then observing the Lanka located on top of the mountain , Hanuman shook his body which scared the beasts and birds on the mountain he landed.

ślō|| sa sāgaraṁ dānavapannagāyutam

Having crossed with his prowess the ocean filled with demons and serpents, having landed on the shore Hanuman saw Lanka adorned with garlands of waves which is like the city of Amaravati

ityārṣē śrīmadrāmāyaṇē ādikāvyē vālmīkīyē

Thus ends the first Sarga of Sundarakanda in Ramayana the first poem ever composed by the first poet Valmiki.
