Now, best of noble mountains, rise
And do the thing that I advise.
E’en now above thy buried crest
Flies mighty Hanumán, the best
Of Vánars, moved for Ráma’s sake
A wondrous deed to undertake.
Lift up thy head that he may stay
And rest him on his weary way.”
In plain words: The Sea asks Mainaka to rise up out of the water. Hanuman is flying overhead on a great mission for Rama, and the Sea wants Mainaka to give him a place to rest on his tiring journey.
