And, struck with amazement, they, (staying) all round, joyfully gazed (at him); even as creatures beheld Nārāyaṇa, then stretching forth his three steps, he prepared him (for the succeeding feat). And, eulogized by them, the odorous mighty Hanuman increased; and, flourishing his tail me joy, attained strength.
प्रहृष्टा विस्मिताश्चापि ते वीक्षन्ते समन्ततः। त्रिविक्रमं कृतोत्साहं नारायणमिव प्रजाः॥ संस्तूयमानो हनुमान् व्यवर्धत महाबलः। समाविद्ध्य च लालं हर्षाद् बलमुपेयिवान्॥
