What Sugreev said at outset
That one fiend had aptitude
To grip its prey by mere shadow.
Stuck as he got in spite of
Effort his great to speed up well
Realized that he was its prey.
Grew he then to fill the skies
Cast his shadow on all earth.
At that Simhik came jumping
At him with her cave-like mouth.
Sensed as he then her intent
Hanuman thought then better of it.
As with Surasa so with her
Turned he simian in no time
And thus entered her wide mouth.
Seen in awe by all angels
It was as if moon eclipsed.
Into Simhik as he went
Vitals her tore with his nails.
Moaned as she then in great pain
Opened she wide mouth her large,
Came out as he from her then
Stopped she moaning as she died.
Torso as her sank in seas
Flight he resumed in those skies.
Saw all demigods his great deed
Showered they praises then on him.
Blessed him angels nonetheless
Wished him well on his errand.
Felt all Hanuman’s great passion
Search for Seetha, Rama’s spouse
Worth it was for Hall of Fame.
Flew as he leagues eight-hundred
Saw he yonder some island.
On that horizon came to sight
Found he tree-lines touching skies.
Landed he soon on high peak
Of the Malaya mountain range.
Like a mountain on the move
Sauntered Hanuman on that high.
Felt he then that his giant size
Won’t make spying his easy.
It’s thus Hanuman thought it fit
Better he assumed simian shape.
It was akin to Vishnu
Becoming pygmean to push down
Bali into depths of earth.
Before he turned a small fry then
Looked he at his huge frame though.
Climbed he Lamba Mountain then
Had which countless coconut crowns.
For the close up of the town
Jumped onto ground then Hanuman.
Sea across that miles and miles
In the end then thus Hanuman
Made his way to Ravan’s land.
