The Account of Hanumān
अथेश्वरो हनूमंतमारुरोह यथा वृषम् । आरूढे शंकरे देवे हनुमत्कंधरां शिवः ॥ १२६ ॥
atheśvaro hanūmaṃtamāruroha yathā vṛṣam | ārūḍhe śaṃkare deve hanumatkaṃdharāṃ śivaḥ || 126 ||
Alors le Seigneur (Śiva) monta Hanumān comme on monte un taureau. Quand le divin Śaṅkara fut installé, Śiva s’assit sur l’épaule de Hanumān.
