ततः पादपमुक्तेन पुष्पवर्षेण वीर्यवान्। अभिवृष्टः स्थितस्तत्र बभौ पुष्पमयो यथा

tataḥ pādapamuktena puṣpavarṣeṇa vīryavān| abhivṛṣṭaḥ sthitastatra babhau puṣpamayo yathā

Translation (English)

Covered fully with the continuous shower of flowers dropped on him from the trees, heroic Hanuman appeared as though he was a heap of flowers as he stood there.

M.N. Dutt (1891)

Commentary

A shower of flowers greets Hanuman's arrival — the same kind of floral offering that marked his departure. The symmetry between departure and arrival (both marked by flowers) suggests that his journey is sanctioned by the divine. Heaven itself celebrates his success.
