As Hanumān drew along great masses of cloud—some pale, some ruddy, and others dark-blue or madder-hued—those vast clouds shone brilliantly in his wake.
While Hanuman was drawing big clouds which were either white or red or blue or yellow, he looked charming.
Dharma is implied through steadfast service: Hanumān’s divine-like energy is directed toward a righteous mission (Rāma’s cause), showing that power gains meaning when aligned with duty.
Hanumān is mid-flight over the ocean toward Laṅkā; the poet describes the dramatic visual of clouds being pulled and illuminated around him.
Vīrya (heroic vigor) and niṣṭhā (single-minded resolve) in carrying out a dharmic task.
