Valmiki Ramayana · Sundara Kanda · Sarga 1

तां रात्रिं महतीं वीरश्चकार विजितेन्द्रियः । ततः प्रभाते विमले हनूमान् समचिन्तयत् ॥

Translation (English)

That great night the hero, master of his senses, spent there. Then, at the pure dawn, Hanuman reflected deeply.

— Gita Press

अनुवाद (हिंदी)

उस महान रात्रि को वीर जितेन्द्रिय हनुमान ने वहीं बिताया। फिर स्वच्छ प्रभात में हनुमान ने विचार किया।

Commentary

Hanuman takes flight, leaping across the ocean. The verse describes the wind rushing past him, trees bending in his wake, and the mountain from which he leapt shaking from the force. This spectacular image establishes the epic scale of Hanuman's journey.

प्लवन — leaping, springing forthगगन — the sky, the firmament
