Shloka 3
Hanūmān’s Embrace, Counsel, and Promise to Amplify Bhīma’s Battle-Roar
Gandhamādana Continuation
अनुग्रहो मे सुमहांस्तृप्तिश्न तव दर्शनात् । एकं तु कृतमिच्छामि त्वयाद्य प्रियमात्मन:
anugraho me sumahāṁs tṛptiś ca tava darśanāt | ekaṁ tu kṛtam icchāmi tvayādya priyam ātmanaḥ ||
Vaiśampāyana dijo: «Grande es el favor que se me ha concedido, y con solo verte quedo satisfecho. Sin embargo, hoy deseo aún una bondad más de tu parte: algo querido para mi corazón».
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic etiquette: gratitude for kindness received (anugraha) and the respectful framing of a request. Satisfaction at a virtuous person’s presence (darśana) is acknowledged first, then a further plea is made without entitlement.
The narrator-speaker Vaiśampāyana expresses that merely seeing the addressed person has brought him great satisfaction and a sense of being favored, but he still asks that one more cherished request be granted that day.
