Hanuman and Bhima on the mountain path

Bhima goes up Gandhamadana for the flower Draupadi wants, roaring and breaking trees. In a banana grove an old monkey lies across the narrow path. Bhima tells him to rise; the monkey says he is ill and old and Bhima may step over him. Bhima will not, for the Supreme Soul is in every body, and boasts of his brother Hanuman who leapt the sea. 'Move my tail, then,' says the monkey. Bhima takes it in his left hand and cannot move it, then in both, sweating, and cannot raise it. He asks who the monkey is, as a disciple. Hanuman tells him, then tells him the whole Ramayana, and when Bhima asks, shows him the form in which he crossed the sea, so huge that Bhima shuts his eyes. He embraces Bhima, teaches him the four ages and the duties of kings, and promises to sit on Arjuna's banner and roar so that the enemy's hearts fail.
