Beasts in woods all in their scores
Sauntered in groves that were thick.
Home it made all Gandharvas
Home away home for all of them.
Herbs it all had so myriad
Made they medicines that varied.
Set as Hanuman his huge foot
Rocks all got to pebbles reduced.
In his bid to sail across
Grew he further frame his large.
Sighted Hanuman sea across
Crossed that he to reach Lanka.
On his return trip to home
Veteran like he then took-off.
With the pressure it came to bear
Sank then Arishta deep in ground.
Pressed as Arishta to its core
Caved in with groan ocean bed.
Lost as Arishta its bearing
Trees then there got uprooted.
With their fate as thus got sealed
Roared lions all there in distress.
Flew as Gandharv women all there
Slipped their pallus off their breasts.
Serpents there lay furlongs long
Curled in pits of square foot then.
Angels all then came to rest
On its lovely peak foremost,
With that havoc of take-off
Took flight all of them in fright.
In time only seen was tip
Of that Arishta of great girth.
Left no trace of its glory
At length that peach of mountains.
Unmindful of that havoc
Had a smooth sail back Hanuman.
