Thus reflecting, mighty Hanuman swiftly went and reached the foremost of mountains. Drawing near its summit, he uprooted the peak with its many trees in bloom; and, tiger among the vanaras, he lifted it and held it steady with both hands.

Hanuman, the mighty among the Vanaras, thinking so quickly reached the foremost of the mountains, seized the mountain with both hands by shaking it thrice, uprooted the plants with flowers in bloom and balanced it with his hands.

H
Hanuman
F
Foremost mountain (parvataśreṣṭha)
M
Mountain summit/peak
T
Trees/vegetation

Power is dharmic when used for protection and healing; Hanuman’s strength is directed not to domination but to saving a life and fulfilling duty.

Unable to identify the exact herb quickly, Hanuman physically uproots and carries the entire herb-bearing peak back to the battlefield camp.

Vīrya guided by devotion and responsibility—extraordinary capability placed in service of the righteous cause.
