લાંગૂલને ચક્રાકારે વાળીને મહાન, શ્વેત દંષ્ટ્રાવાળો અને મહાપ્રાજ્ઞ અનિલાત્મજ હનુમાન સૂર્યને પરિધિ-પ્રભા ઘેરી હોય તેમ તેજથી વ્યરોচিত થયો।
With his white teeth and curled up tail, the wise son of the Wind-god looked splendid like the halo of the Sun-god.
Dharma is wisdom-guided power: the verse pairs physical splendour with mahā-prajñā, teaching that true strength serves truth with discernment.
The narrator concludes this sequence of flight-imagery by portraying Hanumān’s radiance like the Sun with a halo.
