हनूमद्वृत्तान्तः—वानरबलप्रशंसा च
Hanuman’s Report and Praise of the Vanara Host
सफलो राघवोद्योग स्सुग्रीवस्य च सम्भ्रमः।शीलमासाद्य सीताया मम च प्रवणं मनः।।।।
saphalo rāghavodyogaḥ sugrīvasya ca sambhramaḥ |
śīlam āsādya sītāyā mama ca pravaṇaṃ manaḥ ||
Rāghavas Bemühen hat Frucht getragen, und auch Sugrīvas eifriger Entschluss hat sich als wirksam erwiesen. Als ich Sītās edles Wesen erkannte, neigte sich mein Herz noch mehr in hingebungsvoller Entschlossenheit ihrer Sache zu.
Now if I am permitted, I shall repulse them and destroy them with my valour. A ceaseless shower of rocks sent forth by me in war is enough to destroy even gods what to say about the night-rangers?
