Valmiki Ramayana · Sundara Kanda · Sarga 5
स्थितः ककुद्मानिव तीक्ष्णशृङ्गो महाचलः श्वेत इवोच्चशृङ्गः। हस्तीव जाम्बूनदबद्धशृङ्गो रराज चन्द्रः परिपूर्णशृङ्गः
sthitaḥ kakudmāniva tīkṣṇaśṛṅgo mahācalaḥ śveta ivoccaśṛṅgaḥ| hastīva jāmbūnadabaddhaśṛṅgo rarāja candraḥ paripūrṇaśṛṅgaḥ
The fullmoon with its hornlike spot shone like a bull with sharp horns, like the white Himalayan mountain with its lofty peaks, and like an elephant with gold plated tusks
— M.N. Dutt (1891)
Commentary
Sita hears Hanuman's song and looks up. Their eyes meet. The moment is rendered with extraordinary restraint — no dramatic rush, no sudden embrace. Just two beings recognizing each other across the distance of hope and despair.
