विनष्टशीताम्बुतुषारपङ्को महाग्रहग्राहविनष्टपङ्कः। प्रकाशलक्ष्म्याश्रयनिर्मलाङ्क: रराज चन्द्रो भगवान् शशाङ्कः

With the Sun, the great planet (star), destroying the frost that forms the dew, the Moon with its stain shone with graceful radiance.
— M.N. Dutt (1891)
Commentary
The moon with its dark stain shines gracefully as the night's frost dissolves. Even imperfection does not diminish the moon's light. For Hanuman this is a reminder that his mission, however imperfectly executed, will bring light to Sita's darkness.
