Lord Hanumaan as Ghatika Lagna

[Guest guest]

|| Om Gurave Namah ||

 

Dear Jyotishas,

 

I just came across an interesting statement to Jambaavant by Lord

Hanumaan in Valmiki Ramayana. This statement is befor jumping to Lanka

in searching of Mother Seetha.

 

udayaat prasthitam vaa api jvala.ntam rashmi maalinam |

an astamitam aadityam abhiga.ntum samutsahe || 4-67-15

tato bhuumim asa.mspR^iSTvaa punaH aagantum utsahe |

pravegena eva mahataa bhiimena plavagarSabhaaH || 4-67-16

15-16. plavagarSabhaaH= oh, fly-jumpers, the best; vaa api=

or, even; udayaat= from Mt. Udaya [Mt. Sunrise]; prasthitam= started journeying;

jvalantam= flaming; rashmi maalinam= [flaming] sunrays, having as a garland of

[corona]; aadityam= to Sun; an+astamitam= not, dusked [before sundown];

abhigantum= towards going; utsahe= I venture; tataH= then; bhuumim= land; a

+samspR^iSTvaa= without, touching; bhiimena= with astounding [speed]; mahataa=

with astonishing; pra vegena= with high, speedily [impetuosity]; punaH= again -

revolving around; aagantum= to comeback; samutsahe= I venture to.

" Oh, best fly-jumpers, just by my astounding and astonishing

impetuosity shall I venture to start with the Sun who starts his journey of the

day from Mt. Sunrise, and shall I go to Mt. Dusk before Sun, and again shall I

venture to comeback even before the sundown towards the same day's flaming Sun

when he is garlanded with flaming sunrays around him in midday, that too without

my touching the land... [4-67-15, 16]

Here Lord Hanumaan says that He can start his jump around the world at

sunrise and when Sun comes at zenith on miday he can meet sun again.

 

Hence Lord Hanumaan would have Made one and quarter rounds in that

period. So in every gayatri (quadrants) Lord Hanumaan would have made

1-1/4 round to meet Sun and in 4 Gayatri's it would be five times the

speed of Sun movement(Lagna). Hence Lord Hanumaan in this form says he

can be like Ghatika Lagna.
