Bhīmasena–Hanūmān Saṃvāda: The Tail Test and the Divine Path
वातं तमेवाभिमुखो यतस्तत् पुष्पमागतम् | आजिद्दीर्षुर्जगामाशु स पुष्पाण्यपराण्यपि,वे उसी तरहके और भी फूल ले आनेकी अभिलाषासे तुरंत पूर्वोक्त वायुकी ओर मुख करके उसी ईशान कोणमें आगे बढ़े, जिधरसे वह फूल आया था
vātaṃ tamevābhimukho yatastat puṣpam āgatam | ājiddhīrṣur jagāmāśu sa puṣpāṇy aparāṇy api |
ವೈಶಂಪಾಯನನು ಹೇಳಿದನು— ಆ ಪುಷ್ಪವು ಬಂದ ದಿಕ್ಕಿನ ಅದೇ ಗಾಳಿಯತ್ತ ಮುಖಮಾಡಿ, ಇಂತಹ ಇನ್ನೂ ಪುಷ್ಪಗಳನ್ನು ಪಡೆಯಲು ಉತ್ಸುಕನಾಗಿ ಭೀಮನು ತ್ವರಿತವಾಗಿ ಅದೇ ದಿಕ್ಕಿಗೆ (ಈಶಾನ್ಯಕ್ಕೆ) ಹೊರಟನು.

The verse highlights purposeful effort guided by discernment: one follows the clear sign (the wind’s direction) with determination, yet the ethical undertone is to examine desire—seeking “more” should be pursued without losing self-control or righteousness.
After a flower arrives borne by the wind, the seeker turns toward that same wind’s source and hastens in that direction—specifically toward the north-east as understood in the episode—to find more such flowers.
