Approaching the sun’s path, and bearing that peak radiant like the sun, he shone near the Sun himself—like a second sun appearing beside it.
The two heroes, Hanuman and Vibheeshana, and the foremost of Rakshasas with torch in hand searched for the left over Vanaras in the battlefield.
Dharma is steadiness of purpose: even cosmic obstacles or awe-inspiring heights do not distract one from a righteous duty undertaken for others’ welfare.
Hanumān flies so high with the radiant mountain peak that he seems like another sun near the Sun’s own course.
Fearless perseverance—undaunted movement toward the goal, sustained by devotion and duty.
