Stretching out his arms like coiling serpents, the son of Vāyu—whose might was like that of Garuḍa, the enemy of serpents—sped toward the lofty lord of mountains, Meru, as though he were drawing the very quarters along with him.
Stretching his arms which resembled coils of serpents, whose valour equalled Garuda, enemy of serpents, as if attracting all the directions went to the summit of the foremost mountain which equalled Meru mountain.
Dharma is shown through steadfast resolve in righteous service: Hanumān’s power is framed as divinely aligned (son of Vāyu) and directed toward the larger cause of justice.
Hanumān extends his arms and surges forward with a force likened to Garuḍa, moving toward the great mountain Meru.
Tejas (radiant might) combined with determination—his motion is so commanding it is poetically said to tug at the directions.
