पर्वतारोहणं चापि सागरस्यापि लङ्घनम् ।समुद्रवचनाच्चैव मैनाकस्य च दर्शनम् ।।।।
parvatārohaṇaṃ cāpi sāgarasyāpi laṅghanam | samudra-vacanāc caiva mainākasya ca darśanam ||
पर्वतारोहणं, सागरस्य लङ्घनं, समुद्रवचनप्रेरितं मैनाकस्य दर्शनं च सः कथयामास।
(He described) the climbing of Mahendra mountain (by Hanuman), crossing the sea emergence of Mainaka hill at the command of the lord of ocean.
Dharma-driven effort draws support: when one undertakes a truthful mission with discipline, nature and allies respond, offering aid without derailing the duty.
Nārada outlines Hanumān’s launch toward Laṅkā: climbing the mountain, leaping the ocean, and encountering Maināka offered as a resting place.
Hanumān’s steadfast focus—accepting help respectfully while not abandoning the primary duty.
