हनूमद्बलप्रबोधनम् / Jāmbavān Rekindles Hanūmān’s Power
तां विशालायतश्रोणीं तनुमध्यां यशस्विनीम्।दृष्टवैव शुभसर्वाङ्गीं पवनः काममोहितः।।।।
tāṃ viśālāyataśroṇīṃ tanumadhyāṃ yaśasvinīm |
dṛṣṭvaiva śubhasarvāṅgīṃ pavanaḥ kāmamohitaḥ ||
À la vue de cette dame illustre—aux hanches larges, à la taille fine, belle en chacun de ses membres—Pavana, le dieu du Vent, fut troublé par le désir.
'On seeing the broad hips, slender waist and beautiful limbs of that famous lady the Wind-god was infatuated.
The verse highlights how unchecked kāma (desire) can cloud judgment; Dharma requires inner restraint and respect toward others.
The story turns to the conception narrative connected with Hanuman: Pavana sees Anjanā and becomes desire-struck.
By contrast (through later verses), Anjanā’s chastity and commitment to marital fidelity are foregrounded.
