“O hermits, blest in vows, who shine
Like royal saints or Gods divine,
O best of young ascetics, say
How to this spot you found your way,
Scaring the troops of wandering deer
And silvan things that harbour here
Searching amid the trees that grow
Where Pampá’s gentle waters flow.
In plain words: Hanuman greets them as holy young hermits who shine like gods or saintly kings. He asks how they came to this place by the Pampa lake, scaring the deer as they search among the trees.
