“On those sounds being heard the down of Bhima’s body stood on end; and he began to range that plantain wood, in search of those sounds.  And that one of mighty arms saw the monkey-chief in the plantain wood, on an elevated rocky base.  And he was hard to be looked at even as the lightning-flash; and of coppery hue like that of the lightning-flash:  and endued with the voice of the lightning-flash; and quick moving as the lightning-flash; and having his short flesh neck supported on his shoulders; and with his waist slender in consequence of the fullness of his shoulders.  And his tail covered with long hair, and a little bent at the end, was raised like unto a banner.  And (Bhima) saw Hanuman’s head furnished with small lips, and coppery face and tongue, and red ears, and brisk eyes, and bare white incisors sharpened at the edge.’  And his head was like unto the shining moon; adorned with white teeth within the mouth; and with mane scattered over, resembling a heap of asoka flowers.  And amidst the golden plantain trees, that one of exceeding effulgence was lying like unto a blazing fire, with his radiant body.  And that slayer of foes as casting glances with his eyes reddened with intoxication.  And the intelligent Bhima saw that mighty chief of monkeys, of huge body, lying like unto the Himalaya, obstructing the path of heaven.  And seeing him alone in that mighty forest, the undaunted athletic Bhima, of long arms, approached him with rapid strides, and uttered a loud shout like unto the thunder.  And at that shout of Bhima, beasts and birds became all alarmed.  The powerful Hanuman, however, opening his eyes partially looked at him (Bhima) with disregard, with eyes reddened with intoxication.  And then smilingly addressing him, Hanuman said the following words, ’Ill as I am, I was sleeping sweetly.  Why hast thou awakened me?  Thou shouldst show kindness to all creatures, as thou hast reason.  Belonging to the animal species, we are ignorant of virtue.  But being endued with reason, men show kindness towards creatures.  Why do then reasonable persons like thee commit themselves to acts contaminating alike body, speech, and heart, and destructive of virtue?  Thou knowest not what virtue is, neither hast thou taken council of the wise.  And therefore it is that from ignorance, and childishness thou destroyest the lower animals.  Say, who art thou, and what for hast thou come to the forest devoid of humanity and human beings?  And, O foremost of men, tell thou also, whither thou wilt go to-day.  Further it is impossible to proceed.  Yonder hills are inaccessible.  O hero, save the passage obtained by the practice of asceticism, there is no passage to that place.  This is the path of the celestials; it is ever impassable by mortals.  Out of kindness, O hero, do I dissuade thee.  Do thou hearken unto my words.  Thou canst not proceed further from this place.  Therefore, O lord, do thou desist.  O chief of men, to-day in very way thou art welcome to this place.  If thou think it proper to accept my words, do thou then, O best of men, rest here, partaking of fruits and roots, sweet as ambrosia, and do not have thyself destroyed for naught.”
