ऋक्षबिलप्रवेशः — Entry into the Rikshabilam Cave
तत्र तत्र च विन्यस्तान्दीप्तान्वैश्वानरप्रभान्।।।।ददृशुर्वानराश्शुभ्राञ्जातरूपस्य सञ्चयान्।
sa hi deśo duranveṣo guhā-gahanavān mahān | tatra vāyusutaḥ sarvaṃ vicinoti sma parvatam ||
That region was vast and hard to investigate, dense with caves and thickets; there Hanumān, the son of the Wind, searched the entire mountain range.
The monkeys marked here and there a collection of gold, glittering like blazing fire.
Dharma appears as steadfast duty: Hanumān persists in a difficult search because service to Rāma’s mission and loyalty to the alliance are righteous obligations.
The southern search party is combing an arduous mountainous terrain; Hanumān takes an active role in thoroughly examining it.
Perseverance and conscientiousness—Hanumān’s thorough effort despite hardship.
