Bhīmasena–Hanūmān Saṃvāda: The Tail Test and the Divine Path
क्व च त्वयाद्य गन्तव्ं प्रब्रूहि पुरुषर्षभ । अत: परमगम्यो<यं पर्वत: सुदुरारुह:,पुरुषश्रेष्ठ॒ ठीक-ठीक बतलाओ, तुम्हें आज इधर कहाँतक जाना है? यहाँसे आगे तो यह पर्वत अगम्य है। इसपर चढ़ना किसीके लिये भी अत्यन्त कठिन है
Vaiśampāyana uvāca: kva ca tvayādya gantavyaṃ prabrūhi puruṣarṣabha | ataḥ paramagamyo 'yaṃ parvataḥ sudurāruhaḥ ||
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは言った。「明らかに答えよ、人中の雄よ——今日、汝はどこまで進むつもりか。ここより先、この山は通れぬ。誰にとっても登攀はきわめて困難だ。」
