Bhīma–Hanūmān Dialogue on Yugas (युगवर्णनम्)
हनूमानुवाच यत् ते मम परिज्ञाने कौतूहलमरिंदम । तत् सर्वमखिलेन त्वं शृणु पाण्डवनन्दन
hanūmān uvāca yat te mama parijñāne kautūhalam ariṃdama | tat sarvam akhilena tvaṃ śṛṇu pāṇḍavanandana ||
หนุมานกล่าวว่า “โอ้ผู้ปราบศัตรู เพราะเจ้ามีความใคร่รู้ในสิ่งที่เป็นตัวตนของเรา จงฟังให้ครบถ้วนเถิด โอ้ความชื่นใจแห่งปาณฑพ เราจะบอกทุกสิ่งโดยพิสดาร”

Educational Q&A
The verse models an ethical posture of learning and instruction: sincere curiosity is met with a promise of complete, orderly explanation. It highlights humility in inquiry and responsibility in teaching—knowledge should be shared fully and clearly when sought for understanding.
Hanuman addresses a Pāṇḍava hero (commonly understood in this episode as Bhīma) who has expressed curiosity about Hanuman’s knowledge or experience. Hanuman invites him to listen and announces that he will relate everything in full, setting up a longer explanatory discourse.
