“As though by chance the sun and moon had come upon the earth, you two broad-chested heroes appear—human, yet bearing a divine form.”
'Both of you appear alike, with eyes like lotus petals and locks of matted hair. You look like heroes descending from the world of the gods. You look like the Sun and the Moon dropped incidentally on this earth. With shoulders like those of a lion and the majesty of energetic bulls, you broadchested warriors appear like divine beings, though in fact humans.
Dharma in interpersonal conduct: truthful praise of genuine merit is not flattery but recognition of righteousness, enabling trust and cooperation for a just cause.
Hanumān continues his respectful address, emphasizing the princes’ extraordinary presence despite their forest setting.
Hanumān’s sincerity and communicative skill—he builds rapport through accurate, elevating description.
