आपूर्यमाणं शश्वच्च तेजोबलपराक्रमैः।शशिनं शुक्लपक्षादौ वर्धमानमिव श्रिया।।।।बृहस्पतिसमं बुद्ध्या विक्रमे सदृशं पितुः।शुश्रूषमाणं तारस्य शक्रस्येव पुरन्दरम्।।।।भर्तुरर्थे परिश्रान्तं सर्वशास्त्रविदांवरम्।अभिसन्धातुमारेभे हनूमानङ्गदं ततः।।।।
āpūryamāṇaṁ śaśvac ca tejo-bala-parākramaiḥ |
śaśinaṁ śuklapakṣādau vardhamānam iva śriyā ||
bṛhaspati-samaṁ buddhyā vikrame sadṛśaṁ pituḥ |
śuśrūṣamāṇaṁ tārāyāḥ śakrasyeva purandaram ||
bhartur arthe pariśrāntaṁ sarva-śāstra-vidāṁ varam |
abhisandhātum ārebhe hanūmān aṅgadaṁ tataḥ ||
Pagkaraan, sinimulan ni Hanumān na maingat na kausapin at sangguniin si Aṅgada—si Aṅgada na laging napupuno ng ningning, lakas, at kagitingan, lumalago sa karangalan na wari’y buwan sa simula ng maliwanag na kalahati; na ang talino’y kapantay ni Bṛhaspati at ang tapang ay kahawig ng kanyang ama; na naglilingkod kay Tārā na gaya ni Indra, ang maninira ng kuta, na nakikinig sa kanyang guro; at bagama’t napapagod sa kapakanan ng kanyang panginoon, siya ang nangunguna sa mga bihasa sa mga śāstra.
Hanuman proceeded to win over Angada, who was ever shining in strength and valour, who was growing in majesty constantly like the Moon in the bright fornight, whose intellectual prowess was equal to that of Brhaspati, who was equal to his father in valour and who was well-versed in all sastras. Angada was listening toTara like Indra listened to Sukra (preceptor of the demons).
