Gods, saints, and heavenly bards beheld
That flight that none had paralleled,
Then to the Nágas’ mother came
And thus addressed the sun-bright dame:
“See, Hanumán with venturous leap
Would spring across the mighty deep,—
A Vánar prince, the Wind-God’s seed:
Come, Surasá, his course impede.
In plain words: The gods and sages watch this amazing flight. They go to Surasa, mother of the Nagas (serpent beings), and ask her to block Hanuman's way.
