युद्ध-काण्ड > जाम्बवान के आदेश से हनुमान का संजीवनी बूटी लाना
After having been struck by Brahma's missile released by Indrajit, Rama and
Lakshmana became unconscious. Sixty-seven crores of monkeys fainted. Hanuma and Vibhishana, however
in consciousness, roared about in the battle-front with torches in their hands, making a search of
Jambavan. They find Jambavan. Jambavan requests Hanuma to proceed to Himalayas, by crossing over
the ocean and to bring four important herbs, viz. Mrita Sanjivani, Vishalya karani, Suvarna karani
and Sandhani; so as to bring succour to the fainted army of monkeys. Hanuma begins his journey to
Himalayas and reaches Mount Rishabha, where the wonderful herbs exist. Hanuma searches for the four
wonderful herbs. But the herbs appear invisible for him. Hanuma uproots the mountain clothed with
the four celestial herbs and carries it along with him. Inhaling the odour of those herbs, Rama,
Lakshmana and all the monkeys regain their normal health.

Then, in the battle-front, Rama and Lakshmana were knocked down senseless. The army
of monkey-leaders fainted. Sugreeva, Nila, Angada and Jambavan could not understand what to do."

Seeing the entire army looking worried, Vibhishana, the best among the intelligent
ones, spoke the following matchless words, consoling the warriors of Sugreeva, the lord of
monkeys:

"Honouring the spell sacred of Brahma the creator, the two sons of the venerable
Dasaratha have actually lost their free will and became dejected and have allowed themselves to be
knocked down by the missiles of Indrajit. Hence do not be afraid. There is no occasion for
despondency now."

"This excellent missile, presided over by Brahma the creator, with never-failing
strength, was given to Indrajit by Brahma. Honouring it, Rama and Lakshmana the princes fell down
in battle. This not a time for despondency here."

Then, the intelligent Hanuma, the son of wind-god, paying honour to the missile
presided over by Brahma and hearing the words of Vibhishana, spoke the following words:

यो यो धारयते प्राणांस्तं तमाश्वासयावहे || ६-७४-६
यो यो धारयते प्राणांस्तं तमाश्वासयावहे || ६-७४-६

mountain-sized monkeys fallen with heir tails, arms, thighs, feet, fingers and heaps of heads

flaming weapons fallen around."

Hanuma, along with Vibhishana, began to search for Jambavan, while looking at the

Looking at Jambavan, the son of Brahma, who was naturally bequeathed with old age,
an elderly person, with his body conspicuous of hundreds of arrows and a valiant person looking

He saw the abode of Brahma the lord of creation, Kailasa the abode of Shiva the lord
of dissolution, the abode of Indra the lord of celestials, the arrow-discharging place of Rudra,
the worshipping place of Hayagriva, the horse-faced form of Vishnu, the shining place at which
Brahma's head fell down, the sun-god and Kimkaras."

ब्रह्मासनं शङ्करकार्मुकं च |
ददर्श नाभिं च वसुन्धरायाः || ६-७४-६०
He saw the abode of Agni the fire-god, the abode of Kubera (son of Visrava) shining
like the sun, the spot where the sun was tied down, the abode of Brahma, the abode of bow belonging
to Lord Shiva and the novel of the earth (containing the hole through which one can enter Patala
the nethermost subterranean region)."

ददर्श सर्वौषधिपर्वतेन्द्रम् || ६-७४-६१
He saw the gigantic Mount Kailasa, the rock of Mount Himalaya (on which Lord Shiva
is believed to have practiced austerities and abstract meditation) and Mount Rishabha, the lofty
golden mountain, which was highly illumined by the flaming herbs and the lord of mountains on which
all types of herbs grew."

विसिष्मिये वासवदूतसूनुः |
आप्लुत्य तं चौषधिपर्वतेन्द्रं |
तत्रौषधीनां विचयं चकार || ६-७४-६२
Seeing that mountain shining with a heap of fire, Hanuma the son of wind-god, who is
the envoy of Indra, was surprised to see that great mountain of herbs and then made a search for
the herbs."
स योजनसहस्राणि समतीत्य महाकपिः |
दिव्यौषधिधरं शैलं व्यचरन्मारुतात्मजः || ६-७४-६३
दिव्यौषधिधरं शैलं व्यचरन्मारुतात्मजः || ६-७४-६३
That Hanuma, the great monkey, having crossed thousands of yojanas, walked around
that mountain, searching for the heavenly herbs."

विज्ञायार्थिनमायान्तं ततो जग्मुरदर्शनम् || ६-७४-६४
विज्ञायार्थिनमायान्तं ततो जग्मुरदर्शनम् || ६-७४-६४
Knowing then that somebody was coming in search of them, all the distinguished herbs
on that mountain disappeared from Hanuma's view."
स ता महात्मा हनुमान पश्यं |

In not seeing them thus, that great souled Hanuma was enraged. He made a loud noise
in anger unable to bear it, Hanuma with his eyes as red as the fire, spoke the following words to
the prince of mountains."
किमेतदेवं सुविनिश्चितं ते |

यद्राघवे नासि कृतानुकम्पः |
पश्याद्य मद्बाहुबलाभिभूतो
विकीर्णमात्मानमथो नगेन्द्र || ६-७४-६६
"O prince of mountains! Is it quite sure that you have not shown any compassion for
Rama? If it is so, overcome by the strength of my arms; find yourself shattered to pieces
today."
स तस्य शृङ्गं सनगं सनागं |

Fiercely seizing hold of the top of that mountain, furnished with thousands of
minerals, with its trees, elephants and gold, with the projections of mountain shattered and the
crest of its plateau set on fire, at once sprang up with speed."
स तं समुत्पाट्य खमुत्पपात |

Having uprooted that mountain, frightening the worlds together with the leaders of
celestials and demons inhabiting them and being praised by many aerial beings, Hanuma sprang up
into the sky and proceeded expeditiously with the terrible speed of Garuda the eagle."

Grasping that mountain-peak, radiant as the sun, that Hanuma who resembled the sun,
having reached the orbit of the sun, shone as a second sun (as sun's image) in the vicinity of the
sun."
स तेन शैलेन भृशं रराज |

In the sky, with that mountain in his hand, that Hanuma the offspring of the
wind-god, who resembled a mountain himself, appeared mostly like Vishnu with his flaming discuss
with its thousand edges holding his hand."
तं वानराः प्रेक्ष्य तदा विनेदुः |

Then, seeing Hanuma, the monkeys made a noise. Seeing them, Hanuma in turn roared in
delight. Hearing their awfully excessive noises the inhabitants of Lanka roared still more
terribly."
ततो महात्मा निपपात तस्मिञ् |

Thereupon, the great souled Hanuma descended on that prince of mountains (Trikuta)
in the midst of that army of monkeys. Having offered salutation to the illustrious monkeys there
with his head bent low, he then embraced Vibhishana
तावप्युभौ मानुषराजपुत्रौ |

By inhaling that fragrance of those great herbs, both Rama and Lakshamana became
healed of their wounds then and there. Other monkey-warriors rose up."
सर्वे विशल्या विरुजाः क्षणेन |

By the fragrance of those most powerful herbs, all those monkey-warriors who were
earlier dead were healed momentarily of their wounds, relieved of their pain, even as those who are
asleep fully get up at the close of night."

From the day the monkeys and demons began to fight in Lanka, from that day onwards,
under the orders of Ravana, all those demons, who were being killed by the foremost of monkeys were
being thrown away into the sea as and when they were killed, merely or the sake of honour (so that
their number may not be known to the monkeys)."

Then, Hanuma the son of wind-god, with a great speed, carried away that mountain of
herbs quickly back to the mountains of Himalayas and again joined Rama."
