ततः स किंकरान् हत्वा हनूमान् ध्यानमास्थितः।
वनं भग्नं मया चैत्यप्रासादो न विनाशितः ॥ ५.४३.१ ॥
Then, having slain the servants, Hanumān sat in thought: "I have destroyed the grove, but the shrine-palace has not yet been destroyed."

आरुरोह हरिश्रेष्ठो हनूमान् मारुतात्मजः ॥ ५.४३.३ ॥
"Therefore today I shall destroy this palace!" Saying this, the best of monkeys, Hanumān, son of the Wind, leapt up and mounted the shrine-palace, lofty as the peak of Meru.
5.43.4
आरुह्य गिरिसंकाशं प्रासादं हरियूथपः।
बभौ स सुमहातेजाः प्रतिसूर्य इवोदितः ॥ ५.४३.४ ॥

हनूमान् प्रज्वलँल्लक्ष्म्या पारियात्रोपमोऽभवत् ॥ ५.४३.५ ॥
Having assailed the lofty shrine-palace, the invincible Hanumān, blazing with splendor, became like a pārijāta tree.

At the great, ear-splitting sound of his clapping, the birds there fell, and the guardians of the shrine were stunned.

अस्त्रविज्जयतां रामो लक्ष्मणश्च महाबलः।
राजा जयति सुग्रीवो राघवेणाभिपालितः ॥ ५.४३.८ ॥
Let Rāma, knower of weapons, and Lakṣmaṇa, of great strength, be victorious. Let King Sugrīva, protected by the Rāghava, be victorious.

दासोऽहं कोसलेन्द्रस्य रामस्याक्लिष्टकर्मणः।
हनूमान् शत्रुसैन्यानां निहन्ता मारुतात्मजः ॥ ५.४३.९ ॥
I am the servant of Rāma, lord of Kosala, whose deeds are tireless. I am Hanumān, slayer of enemy armies, son of the Wind-god.

न रावणसहस्रं मे युद्धे प्रतिबलं भवेत्।
शिलाभिश्च प्रहरतः पादपैश्च सहस्रशः ॥ ५.४३.१० ॥
In battle, not even a thousand Rāvaṇas could stand against me, as I strike them by the thousand with rocks and trees.

ननाद भीमनिर्ह्रादो रक्षसां जनयन् भयम् ॥ ५.४३.१२ ॥
Having said this, the great-bodied lord of the monkey troop, standing on the shrine, roared with a terrible sound, striking fear into the rākṣasas.

तेन नादेन महता चैत्यपालाः शतं ययुः।
गृहीत्वा विविधानस्त्रान् प्रासान् खड्गान् परश्वधान् ॥ ५.४३.१३ ॥
At that great roar, a hundred guardians of the shrine rushed forward, seizing various weapons: spears, swords, and battle-axes.

विसृजन्तो महाकाया मारुतिं पर्यवारयन्।
ते गदाभिर्विचित्राभिः परिघैः काञ्चनाङ्गदैः ॥ ५.४३.१४ ॥
The huge-bodied rākṣasas, hurling at him, surrounded Hanumān; with ornate maces, iron bars, and weapons bound with golden armlets they assailed him.

आवर्त इव गङ्गायास्तोयस्य विपुलो महान् ॥ ५.४३.१५ ॥

स राक्षसशतं हत्वा वज्रेणेन्द्र इवासुरान् ॥ ५.४३.१९ ॥
Seeing the palace burning, the leader of the monkey host slew a hundred rākṣasas, as Indra with his thunderbolt slays the asuras.

अप्रमेयबलाः केचित् तत्रासन् हरियूथपाः ॥ ५.४३.२३ ॥
Some are as strong as a flood, some match the strength of the wind, and some have immeasurable strength — there were such lords of monkey troops there.

ईदृग्विधैस्तु हरिभिर्वृतो दन्तनखायुधैः।
शतैः शतसहस्रैश्च कोटिभिश्चायुतैरपि ॥ ५.४३.२४ ॥
Surrounded by monkeys of such kind, whose weapons are teeth and nails, by hundreds, hundreds of thousands, tens of millions, and tens of thousands — Sugrīva will come.
5.43.25
आगमिष्यति सुग्रीवः सर्वेषां वो निषूदनः।
नेयमस्ति पुरी लङ्का न यूयं न च रावणः।
यस्य त्विक्ष्वाकुवीरेण बद्धं वैरं महात्मना ॥ ५.४३.२५ ॥
Sugrīva, the destroyer of you all, will come. This city of Laṅkā is not the one — not you, nor Rāvaṇa — the enmity with the great-souled hero of the Ikṣvāku line has been bound to that one.
