Durch jenen „Ozean des Himmels“ sprang Hanumān—schnell wie der Wind—unermüdlich dahin, wie ein großes Schiff das Meer durchquert. Der Himmel erschien wie Wasser, vom Mondschein gekühlt, mit Wogen, die Windstöße erhoben, und mit Nāgas, Yakṣas und Gandharvas gleich völlig erwachten Lotosblumen und Wasserlilien.
Hanuman leaped ike the Windgod, unwearied across the sky, as a huge boat crosses an ocean. The ocean was graced with a swan, the sky with constellation of Swati with fullblown lotuses and water lilies, like the nagas, yakshas, and gandharvas gathered together. The Moon in the sky was like a white lotus, the Sun like a waterfowl, the auspicious Tishya and Shravana like the sweetvoiced swans, and the clouds like duckweeds and green grassy spots on the shore. The Punarvasu star was like a large fish and the planet Mars was like a crocodile. Airavata was like the great island. The waves produced by the wind were like cool moonlight in the cold water.
