ଵୀରଵିଂଶତିକାଖ୍ଯଂ ଶ୍ରୀ ହନୁମତ୍ସ୍ତୋତ୍ରମ୍

Twenty verses by Umapati Sharma Dvivedi, who writes under the name Kavipati and says in his closing verse that the poem grew out of his boyhood. Its meditation verse is the all-red one that also opens the Hanuman Tandava Stotram — vermilion-coloured, dressed in red cloth, bright with red unguent, a red tail. What follows is in long ornate metres and dwells on Sita more than most of these hymns do: the tail sweeping the sky as he goes by the mid-path of the ocean; the terrible and wonderful vow kept in the middle of the night-wanderers' unbearable terror; the messenger of many shapes sent to her husband, whose body Sita herself honoured; and the trees of the Ashoka grove torn up like clouds, because they were the cause of her pain of separation.
