सौगन्धिकपुष्पप्रसङ्गः — The Saugaṇdhika Lotus and Bhīma’s Approach to Hanūmān
ते त्वाशुगतिभिरवर्वीरा राक्षसैस्तैर्महाजवै: । उहामाना ययु: शीघ्र दीर्घमध्वानमल्पवत्,उन महावेगशाली और तीव्र गतिसे चलनेवाले राक्षसोंपर सवार हो वीर पाण्डवोंने उस विशाल मार्गको इतनी शीघ्रतासे तय कर लिया मानो वह बहुत छोटा हो
te tv āśu-gatibhir avarvīrā rākṣasais tair mahājavaiḥ | ūhamānā yayuḥ śīghraṁ dīrgham adhvānam alpavat ||
Sinabi ni Ghaṭotkaca: “Nakasakay sa mga Rākṣasa na makapangyarihan at ubod ng bilis, ang mga bayaning Pāṇḍava ay naihatid nang napakabilis, anupa’t ang mahabang landas ay tila naging maikling lakbay lamang.”

Educational Q&A
Even a difficult undertaking becomes manageable when supported by timely help and extraordinary resources aligned with a righteous aim; cooperation and strength used in service of dharma can transform hardship into ease.
Ghaṭotkaca describes how the Pāṇḍavas, riding upon swift and powerful Rākṣasas, are rapidly conveyed so that a long stretch of road feels as short as a small distance.
