समुद्रलङ्घनारम्भः
Commencement of the Ocean-Crossing
अयं वातात्मजः श्रीमान्प्लवते सागरोपरि।हनुमान्नाम तस्य त्वं मुहूर्तं विघ्नमाचर।।।।राक्षसं रूपमास्थाय सुघोरं पर्वतोपमम्।दंष्ट्राकरालं पिङ्गाक्षं वक्त्रं कृत्वा नभः समम्।।।।
ayaṁ vātātmajaḥ śrīmān plavate sāgaropari | hanumān nāma tasya tvaṁ muhūrtaṁ vighnam ācara || rākṣasaṁ rūpam āsthāya sughoraṁ parvatopamam | daṁṣṭrākarālaṁ piṅgākṣaṁ vaktraṁ kṛtvā nabhaḥ samam ||
「この栄光ある風神の子、名をハヌマーンという者が、海の上を飛び渡っている。しばしの間、彼に障りをなせ。山のごとく巨大で、恐るべき羅刹の姿となり、牙は凄まじく、黄褐の眼をもち、口を天にも等しく大きく開けよ。」
"The glorious son of the Wind-god, called Hanuman, is crossing the ocean. Obstruct him for sometime by assuming the hideous form of a demon, gigantic as a mountain, fearful with yellowish-brown eyes, with big teeth and a wide mouth like the sky.
Righteous capability is proven under pressure: dharma is not mere intention, but steadiness when confronted by fear-inducing obstacles.
The gods instruct Surasā to block Hanuman briefly by taking a terrifying form, initiating a divine test during his ocean-crossing.
Hanuman’s fearlessness and presence of mind—expected to remain intact even when confronted by a monstrous threat.
