Hanuman seated Bhagwan Shri Ram & Sheshavatar Lakshman on his shoulders and began to fly towards Rishyamook Parvat

Hanuman disclosed two ways that led to Sugreev’s abode. One of the ways was very long but easy while the other was very short but very difficult.

Hanuman said to Lord Shri Ram & Lakshman, “Come with me, short way up is very difficult but you both sit on my shoulders, I’ll carry you flying through the air. (Pawanputra Hanuman travels in sky with the help LAGHIMA Siddhi. He can travel thousands of miles in a minute).”

Lakshman questioned to Hanumanji, “But how can you carry us both!”

Hanuman retorted “Don’t feel shy or amazed, dear Lakshman. To assume any form I want and to grow (MAHIMA siddhi) & shrink (ANIMA siddhi) in size is known to me. I have a boon that enables me to change myself to whatever form I like.”

“To traverse this impregnable mountain path, Come with your true eternal servant, O Lord. Pray, be seated on your devotee’s humble shoulders, And thus exalt your devotee’s honour, O Lord.”

“Where in the world is a devotee as this…or a Lord so merciful, Seating two great warriors on his shoulders, went forth valiant Hanuman.”

Hanuman seated Bhagwan Shri Ram & Sheshavatar Lakshman on his shoulders and began to fly towards Rishyamook Parvat.

On the way he showed them plants laden with flowers, rapidly flowing waters of brooks, caves, chief mountain peaks and charming valleys. Also, he showed them lakes filled with garlic-colored waters with half-bloomed buds in them. Cranes, swans, water-fowls and several other water-birds were frolicking in water. Soft grass-eating wild deer were either grazing soft blades of grass or were resting after having had their fill.

Here and there were seen Vanara warriors with gigantic muscular bodies. One of them was Angad, the son of Kishkindha King Vali. He was gazing at the movements of Hanuman with a keen sight.
