हनूमानुवाच वानरोऊहं न ते मार्ग प्रदास्यामि यथेप्सितम्‌ | साधु गच्छ निवर्तस्व मा त्वं प्राप्स्यसि वैशसम्‌,हनुमानजी बोले--भैया! मैं वानर हूँ। तुम्हें तुम्हारी इच्छाके अनुसार मार्ग नहीं दूँगा। अच्छा तो यह होगा कि तुम यहींसे लौट जाओ, नहीं तो तुम्हारे प्राण संकटमें पड़ जायँगे

Transliteration

hanūmān uvāca | vānaro ’haṃ na te mārgaṃ pradāsyāmi yathepsitam | sādhu gaccha nivartasva mā tvaṃ prāpsyasi vaiśasam ||

Translation

Hanuman said: “I am a vanara; I will not grant you passage as you desire. It would be best for you to turn back from here. Do not persist—otherwise you will meet with calamity and your very life may fall into danger.”
