divam āvṛtya gacchantaṃ grasamānam ivāmbaram |
O monkeys, you will see me like mighty Mount Meru—going forth after covering the sky, as though I were swallowing the heavens themselves.
'O monkeys! when I fly in the sky like the great mount Meru, you will see me as if I am swallowing the sky because I will be enveloping it with my strides.
Dharma highlights responsible heroism: greatness is presented to inspire others toward the truthful mission, not to intimidate or dominate for ego.
Immediately before the leap, Hanumān describes the magnitude of his form and stride as he traverses the sky.
Mahattva (grandeur) joined with sevā-bhāva (service-intent): his ‘vastness’ serves the rescue effort.
