हनूमद्विक्रम-प्रशंसा तथा महेन्द्रारोहणम् (Hanuman’s Self-Assertion of Power and Ascent of Mount Mahendra)
निश्श्वसद्भिस्तदाऽर्तैस्तु भुजङ्गैरर्धनि:सृतैः।।4.67.48।।सपताक इवाभाति स तदा धरणीधरः।

Then the great mountain became a tumult: various pairs of Gandharvas, roughened by drunken revel, abandoned its broad slopes; birds took flight, and hosts of Vidyādharas too departed; great serpents lay hidden, and rocks from the moving peaks were hurled down.
The serpents with their bodies half protruded out of the rocks and hissing looked like flags planted on the mountain.
Dharma is framed as world-impacting action: a righteous mission can ripple across realms, reminding one to wield strength with awareness of consequences.
As Hanumān’s leap becomes imminent, the mountain is so shaken that celestial beings, birds, and serpents react—fleeing, hiding, and dislodging rocks.
Irresistible resolve—his gathered momentum is portrayed as an event that even superhuman beings must acknowledge.
