सप्तपञ्चाशः सर्गः — Hanumān’s Return, Roar of Success, and the Announcement “Sītā Seen”
तस्य नानद्यमानस्य सुपर्णचरिते पथि।।।।फलतीवास्य घोषेण गगनं सार्कमण्डलम्।
tasya nānadyamānasya suparṇa-caritē pathi | phalatīva asya ghōṣēṇa gaganaṁ sārkamaṇḍalam ||
As he roared along the path once trodden by Suparṇa (Garuḍa), the sky—together with the sun’s orb—seemed, by that sound, as though it would split apart.
By the terrific sounds made by Hanuman in joy, it seemed as though the pathway of Garuda, the sky along with the Sun's orbit was splitting.
Moral power as protection: immense strength is portrayed as an auspicious force that supports a righteous mission, not as destructive chaos.
Hanumān’s triumphant roar on his return is so intense that the sky seems to crack—an epic hyperbole announcing success.
Tejas (radiant potency): his spiritual-heroic energy manifests outwardly, reflecting inner certainty rooted in truthful accomplishment.
