Hanuman crossing ocean

• Meditation: I meditate on Bhakta Hanuman encountering Surasa while going to Lanka.

• Hanuman encountering Surasa: The Devas requested Surasa, the mother of Nagas to assume the form of a demoness and obstruct the path of Hanuman to test him. Surasa assumed the huge form of a demoness and obstructed the path of Hanuman. She said that according to Lord Brahma's boon, no one can cross her without entering her mouth. Hanuman in anger increased the size of his body spanning several yojanas. However Surasa also opened her mouth and kept increasing its size and obstructed the path of Hanuman. Hanuman then suddenly became small like a thumb, quickly entered the mouth of Surasa and came out. Surasa assumed her normal form and blessed Hanuman.
