Shloka 29
हनूमद्विक्रम-प्रशंसा तथा महेन्द्रारोहणम्
Hanuman’s Self-Assertion of Power and Ascent of Mount Mahendra
वासवस्य सवज्रस्य ब्रह्मणो वा स्वयम्भुवः।विक्रम्य सहसा हस्तादमृतं तदिहानये।।4.67.29।।लङ्कां वापि समुत्क्षिप्य गच्छेयमिति मे मतिः।
vāsavasya sa-vajrasya brahmaṇo vā svayambhuvaḥ | vikramya sahasā hastād amṛtaṃ tad ihānaye || 4.67.29 || laṅkāṃ vāpi samutkṣipya gaccheyam iti me matiḥ |
Creio que eu poderia até enfrentar Vāsava, o portador do raio, ou mesmo Brahmā, o Auto-nascido; e, num ímpeto súbito, arrancar de sua mão esse amṛta e trazê-lo aqui de imediato. Creio ainda que poderia arrancar Laṅkā e levá-la comigo.
'I think I can encounter Indra, wielder of the thunderbolt and obtain nectar from his hands. I can even confront Brahma, the self-born creator courageously. I can even uproot Lanka and carry it.'
