सेतुबन्धम्-५३

 होन्ति गरुआ वि लहुआ पवंगभुअसिहरणिमिअवित्थ‍अमूला ।

 रहसुद्धा‍इअमारुअदूरिक्खित्तोज्झरा धराधरणिवहा ॥ ६-७६ ॥

[ भवन्ति गुरुका अपि लघुकाः प्लवंगभुजशिखरनिवेशितविस्तृतमूलाः ।

  रभसोद्धावितमारुतदूरोत्क्षिप्तनिर्झरा धराधरनिवहाः ॥]

Even the heavy mountains being lifted at the roots by the monkeys on their hands become light because of the streams on the mountains getting thrown away to a distance by the wind created by the sudden lifting.

अह वेपण पवंगा स‍अलं आ‍अड्ढिऊण महिहरणिवहम् ।

ओव‍अणाहि वि लहुअं वीसज्झिअकल‍अलं णहं उण‍इआ ॥ ६-७७ ॥

[ अथ वेगेन प्लवंगाः सकलमाकृष्य महीधरनिवहम् ।

  अवपतनादपि लघुकं विसृष्टकलकलं नभ उत्पतिताः ॥]

Having gathered the mountains on their arms, monkeys jumped up with sounds of encouragement feeling lighter than they would had they been falling.

चडुलेहि णिप्प‍अप्पा उप्प‍इअव्वलहुएहि वित्थ‍अगरुआ ।

एक्कक्खेवेण णहं पक्खेहि व महिहरा क‍ईहि विल‍इआ ॥ ६-७८ ॥

[ चटुलैर्निष्प्रकम्पा उत्पतितव्यलघुकैर्विस्तृतगुरुकाः ।

  एकक्षेपेण नभः पक्षैरिव महीधराः कपिभिर्विलगिताः ॥]

Immobile mountains with heavy spreads were lifted up the sky in a concerted single effort by the dynamic monkeys and it looked as if if the mountains had wings.

पव‍अक्कन्तविमुक्कं विसमुद्धप्फुडिअपत्थिअणिअत्तन्तम् ।

घडिअं घडन्तण‍इमुहसंदाणिअसेलणिग्गमं महिवेढम् ॥ ६-७९ ॥

[ प्लवगाक्रान्तविमुक्तं विषमोर्ध्वस्फुटितप्रस्थितनिवर्तमानम् ।

  घटितं घटमाननदीमुखसंदानितशैलनिर्गमं महीवेष्टम् ॥]

The hollows created by the lifting of the mountains got filled up by the pieces falling back and the rocks falling from river-mouths on the mountains.

हीरन्तमहिहराहिं म‍ईहि भ‍अहित्थपत्थिअणिअत्तन्तम् ।

घडिअं घडन्तण‍इमुहसंदाणिअसेलणिग्गमं महिवेडम् ॥ ६-८० ॥

 [ ह्रियमाणमहीधराभिर्मृगीभिर्भयोद्विग्नप्रस्थितनिवृत्ताभिः ।

  शोभन्ते क्षणविवर्तितससंभ्रमोन्मुखप्रलोकितानि वनानि ॥]

Forests on the mountains being lifted look beautiful with the frightened deer going a little distance and returning with their gazes anxiously turned upwards for a while.
