Southern Sea near Mount Mahendra: Hanuman encountering Mount Mainaka while going to Lanka:

(Valmiki Ramayana - Sundara Kanda - 1)

Hanuman crossing ocean

• Meditation: I meditate on Bhakta Hanuman encountering Mount Mainaka while going to Lanka.

• Hanuman encountering Mount Mainaka: Samudra deva thought that the oceans were created by Sagara of Sri Rama's dynasty. Therefore he needed to help Hanuman who is on the mission of Sri Rama. Samudra deva told mount Mainaka to rise up to give rest to Hanuman. Mainaka rose up and greeted Hanuman. He said that apart from the Ocean god's request, he himself is also indebted to Vayu deva who saved his wings when Indra tried to cut them. Mainaka requested Hanuman to take rest on his peaks. Hanuman touched the mountain with his hands but did not stop over to take rest neglecting his duties. Hanuman rose up still higher and crossed over the Mainaka mountain.
