On one occasion Śambhu, the Lord, doer of exceedingly wondrous things, beheld Viṣṇu's Mohinī form—he indeed [of abiding qualities?]. Then he, exceedingly delighted, went to the presence of his own mother; Hanumān respectfully told her that whole event. That hero, the leader of the monkeys, swiftly removed Sītā's grief by making her hear the news of Rāma, which preserved her life. By that boon he obtained the excellent victory, and then, having crossed the ocean, surrounding Laṅkā with the monkeys, he waged war with the demons. Whoever hears this with devotion, or attentively causes it to be heard, having enjoyed all desires here, obtains in the end the highest liberation.
