Hanumān having said this, all the monkeys went into the cave covered with darkness; without the sun or the moon, capable of making one's down stand on end. And seeing lions, and birds and beasts (ranging around), those tigerlike monkeys entered that cave covered with swans cranes darkness. And (there) neither their ken, nor their vigour, nor yet their prowess was baffled: and their speed resembled the wind, and their sight remained unimpaired albeit in darkness.
इत्युक्तास्तद् बिलं सर्वे विविशुस्तमिवावृतम्॥ अचन्द्रसूर्यं हरयो ददृशू रोमहर्षणम्। निशाम्य तस्मात् सिंहांश्च तांस्तांश्च मृगपक्षिणः॥ प्रविष्टा हरिशार्दूला बिलं तिमिरसंवृतम्। न तेषां सज्जते दृष्टिर्न तेजो न पराक्रमः॥ वायोरिव गतिस्तेषां दृष्टिस्तमसि वर्तते।
