तेन चोत्तमवीर्येण पीड्यमानः स पर्वतः। सलिलं सम्प्रसुस्राव मदं मत्त इव द्विपः

tena cottamavīryeṇa pīḍyamānaḥ sa parvataḥ| salilaṃ samprasusrāva madaṃ matta iva dvipaḥ

Translation (English)

The mountain pressed hard under the feet of the valiant (Hanuman), discharged streams of water just as an elephant in rut would exude water of intoxication.

M.N. Dutt (1891)

Commentary

Water streams from the mountain as if from an elephant in rut — a vivid simile that suggests both pressure and release. The mountain, like Hanuman himself, cannot contain its energy. This is the natural world responding to the presence of the divine.
