Looking like a mountain, the hermits thought about Hanumān, son of wind-god, undertaken for the benefit of Rāma and Vānaras in general, and blessed that he would be able to cross the ocean, the abode of Varuņa easily.
एष पर्वतसंकाशो हनुमान् मारुतात्मजः। तितीर्षति महावेगः समुद्रं वरुणालयम्॥ रामार्थं वानरार्थं च चिकीर्षन् कर्म दुष्करम्। समुद्रस्य परं पारं दुष्प्रापं प्राप्तुमिच्छति॥
