Valmiki Ramayana · Sundara Kanda · Sarga 5
ततः स मध्यंगतमंशुमन्तं ज्योत्स्नावितानं महदुद्वमन्तम्। ददर्श धीमान् दिवि भानुमन्तं गोष्ठे वृषं मत्तमिव भ्रमन्तम्
tataḥ sa madhyaṃgatamaṃśumantaṃ jyotsnāvitānaṃ mahadudvamantam| dadarśa dhīmān divi bhānumantaṃ goṣṭhe vṛṣaṃ mattamiva bhramantam
Then intelligent Hanuman observed the Moon in the central part of the sky spreading a canopy of his luminescence like the Sun, and looking like an intoxicated mighty (white) bull moving in a stable.
— M.N. Dutt (1891)
Commentary
Hanuman's plan begins to take shape. He must make his presence known to Sita without alarming her or alerting the rakshasis guarding her. The verse is a masterclass in strategic thinking — every move is calculated, every risk weighed.
