and insults he had borne, Hanumaan gazed with wrathful curiosity at the giant monarch. As
he gazed at him resplendent on his throne a sort of pitying admiration of the doomed

The whole court was brilliant with shining gold and gems, pearls and silk. His dark body, lit up by the marks of royalty, looked like a great radiant hill. "Alas!" thought Hanumaan full of anger, wonder and pity. "If only this great one had not swerved from the path of dharma, not even Indra could equal him. What a form, what radiance, what strength! Trusting to the boon he had secured, he took to wicked ways and has lost his happiness and forfeited his greatness." |
