अञ्जनायास्तमाचख्यौ वरदत्तं विनिर्गतः ॥ ७.३६.२७ ॥

बलेनात्मनि संस्थेन सो ऽपूर्यत यथा ऽर्णवः ॥ ७.३६.२८ ॥

सर्वेषां ब्रह्मदण्डानामवध्यः शम्भुना कृतः ॥ ७.३६.३१ ॥

प्रतिषिद्धो ऽपि मर्यादां लङ्घयत्येव वानरः ॥ ७.३६.३३ ॥
As the son of Añjanā, though restrained by Kesarin and Vāyu, still breaks the bounds, so this monkey, though restrained, does transgress the limit.
7.36.34

शेपुरेनं रघुश्रेष्ठ नातिक्रुद्धातिमन्यवः ॥ ७.३६.३४ ॥

यदा ते स्मार्यते कीर्तिस्तदा ते वर्धते बलम् ॥ ७.३६.३५ ॥
O monkey, the strength on which you rely to trouble us you will not know for a long time, bewildered by our curse. When your fame is remembered, then your strength will grow.

ततस्स हृततेजौजा महर्षिवचनौजसा ।
एषोश्रमाणि तान्येव मृदुभावं गतो ऽचरत् ॥ ७.३६.३६ ॥
Then, deprived of his splendour and might by the power of the great sages' words, he gave up those very exploits, took on a gentle nature, and so conducted himself.
7.36.37
अथर्क्षरजसो नाम वालिसुग्रीवयोः पिता ।
सर्ववानरराजा ऽ ऽसीत्तेजसा भास्करप्रभः ॥ ७.३६.३७ ॥

आबाल्यं सख्यमभवदनिलस्याग्निना यथा ॥ ७.३६.४० ॥
His friendship with Sugrīva was undivided and flawless; from childhood it was like the friendship of the wind and fire.
7.36.41
एष शापवशादेव न वेद बलमात्मनः ।
वालिसुग्रीवयोर्वैरं यदा राम समुत्थितम् ॥ ७.३६.४१ ॥
Through the power of a curse he did not know his own strength, O Rāma, when enmity arose between Vāli and Sugrīva.
7.36.42
न ह्येष राम सुग्रीवो भ्राम्यमाणो ऽपि वालिना ॥ ७.३६.४२ ॥
Not indeed, O Rāma, was this Sugrīva able to withstand Vāli, even while being driven about by him.
7.36.43
देव जानाति न ह्येष बलमात्मनि मारुतिः ।
ऋषिशापाहृतबलस्तदैष कपिसत्तमः ॥ ७.३६.४३ ॥
O god, Hanumān does not know his own strength; at that time, his strength had been taken away by a sage's curse, and this best of monkeys was in that state.
7.36.44
सिंहः कुञ्जररुद्धो वा आस्थितः सहितो रणे ॥ ७.३६.४४ ॥
Like a lion blocked by an elephant, or like a lion standing firm in battle.
7.36.45
पराक्रमोत्साहमतिप्रतापसौशील्यमाधुर्यनयानयैश्च ।
गाम्भीर्यचातुर्यसुवीर्यधैर्यैर्हनूमतः को ऽभ्यधिको ऽस्ति लोके ॥ ७.३६.४५ ॥
In valour, zeal, intellect, majesty, gentleness, sweetness, sound and unsound policy, depth, skill, great prowess and steadiness, who in the world is greater than Hanumān?

असौ पुनर्व्याकरणं ग्रहीष्यन्सूर्योन्मुखः प्रष्टुमना कपीन्द्रः ।
उद्यद्गिरेरस्तगिरिं जगाम ग्रन्थं महद्धारयनप्रमेयः ॥ ७.३६.४६ ॥
That immeasurable lord of monkeys, eager to receive grammar again and intent on asking, facing the sun, went from the rising mountain to the setting mountain, carrying a great book.
7.36.47
ससूत्रवृत्त्यर्थपदं महार्थं ससङ्ग्रहं साद्ध्यति वै कपीन्द्रः ।
नह्यस्य कश्चित्सदृशो ऽस्ति शास्त्रे वैशारदे च्छन्दगतौ तथैव ॥ ७.३६.४७ ॥
The lord of monkeys masters the aphorisms, their commentary, meaning and words, and the great compendium; and in the treatises, in expert knowledge, and in the movement of metre, none is his equal.
7.36.48
सर्वासु विद्यासु तपोविधाने प्रस्पर्धते ऽयो हि गुरुं सुराणाम् ।
सो ऽयं नवव्याकरणार्थवेत्ता ब्रह्मा भविष्यत्यपि ते प्रसादात् ॥ ७.३६.४८ ॥
In all the sciences and in the practice of austerity he would vie even with the teacher of the gods; this knower of the meaning of the new grammar will, by your grace, become even Brahmā.
7.36.49
प्रवीविवक्षोरिव सागरस्य लोकान्दिधक्षोरिव पावकस्य
युगक्षये ह्येव यथान्तकस्य हनूमतः स्थास्यति कः पुरस्तात् ॥ ७.३६.४९ ॥
Who will stand before Hanumān, like the ocean about to swallow the worlds, like the fire about to burn the worlds, like Death himself at the end of an age?
7.36.50
एषेव चान्ये च महाकपीन्द्राः सुग्रीवमैन्दद्विविदाः सनीलाः ।
सतारतारेयनलाः सरम्भास्त्वत्कारणाद्राम सुरैर्हि सृष्टाः ॥ ७.३६.५० ॥
O Rāma, not only he, but the other great chiefs of the monkeys — Sugrīva, Maināda, Dvivida, Nīla, Tāra, Tāreya and Nala, full of ardour — were created by the gods for your sake.
7.36.51
तदेत्कथितं सर्वं यन्मां त्वं परिपृच्छसि ।
हनूमतो बालभावे कर्मैतत्कथितं मया ॥ ७.३६.५१ ॥
All that you asked me has been told in this way. This deed of Hanumān in his childhood has been related by me to you.
7.36.52

प्राञ्जलिः प्रणतश्चापि महर्षिमिदमब्रवीत् ॥ ७.३६.५४ ॥
Having heard these words of Agastya of fierce splendour, the Rāghava (Rāma), with folded palms and bowed low, said this to the great sage.
7.36.55
अद्य मे देवता हृष्टाः पितरः प्रपितामहाः ।
युष्माकं दर्शनादेव नित्यं तुष्टाः सबान्धवाः ॥ ७.३६.५५ ॥
Today my deities, fathers and great-grandfathers are gladdened by the mere sight of you; together with their kinsmen they are always content.
7.36.56
विज्ञाप्यं तु ममैतद्धि यद्वदाम्यागतस्पृहः ।
तद्भवद्भिर्मम कृते कर्तव्यमनुकम्पया ॥ ७.३६.५६ ॥
This is the request I make, having come with this desire: by your compassion, you must do it for my sake.
7.36.57
पौरजानपदान्स्थाप्य स्वकार्येष्वहमागतः ।
क्रतूनेव करिष्यामि प्रभावाद्भवतां सताम् ॥ ७.३६.५७ ॥
Having established the city and country folk in their own affairs, I have come; by the power of you virtuous ones, I shall perform the sacrifices.

भविष्यथ महावीर्या ममानुग्रहकाङ्क्षिणः ॥ ७.३६.५८ ॥
In my sacrifices you will always be the assembled members, mighty ones desiring my favour.
7.36.59

अनुग्रहीतः पितृभिर्भविष्यामि सुनिर्वृतः ॥ ७.३६.५९ ॥
Relying upon you, purified of sin by austerity, I shall be blessed by the fathers and wholly content.
7.36.60
तदागन्तव्यमनिशं भवद्भिरिह सङ्गतैः ।
अगस्त्याद्यास्तु तच्छ्रुत्वा ऋषयः संशितव्रताः ॥ ७.३६.६० ॥
Therefore you must always come here, gathered together. Hearing this, the sages led by Agastya, firm in their vows, said—
7.36.61
एवमस्त्विति तं चोक्त्वा प्रयातुमुपचक्रमुः ॥ ७.३६.६१ ॥
Having said to him, "So be it," they began to depart.
7.36.62
एवमुक्त्वा गताः सर्वे ऋषयस्ते यथागतम् ।
राघवश्च तमेवार्थं चिन्तयामास विस्मितः ॥ ७.३६.६२ ॥
Having said this, all those sages departed the way they had come, and Rāghava, astonished, began to ponder that very matter.
7.36.63
ततो ऽस्तं भास्करे याते विसृज्य नृपवानरान् ।
सन्ध्यामुपास्य विधिवत्तदा नरवरोत्तमः ।
प्रवृत्तायां रजन्यां तु सो ऽन्तःपुरचरो ऽभवत् ॥ ७.३६.६३ ॥
Then, when the sun had set and he had dismissed the kings and the monkeys, the best of the best of men performed the twilight rite as prescribed; and when night had set in, he went about within the inner apartments.
