Story of the flying mountain : When Mount Mainaka tells Hanuman his strange tale...
As Hanuman flies over the ocean towards Lanka, Mount Mainaka rises from the sea with the support of its wings and requests Hanuman to rest on its top. Seeing wings on a mountain, Hanuman is amazed, and Mount Mainaka explains that it is from the time when mountains had wings. However, due to the wings, many mountains became arrogant and flew away. Whenever sages came to meditate on the mountains, the mountains would fly with their wings, disrupting the sages' penance and causing them to fall from the mountains, injured and bleeding. When all the sages complained to the king of the gods, Indra, he angrily started cutting off the wings of all the mountains with his thunderbolt. But Vayudeva (the wind god) came to the aid of Mount Mainaka and hid it in the ocean, on the condition that it would never come out again. It would only have one opportunity to come out when Hanuman would travel to Lanka through the sea route for the task assigned by Lord Rama. Then, it would request Hanuman to rest. Mount Mainaka, accepting Vayudeva's advice, always remains hidden within the sea and only comes out when Hanuman is on his way to Lanka through the sea route.
In Roman Hindi : udate hue pahad ki kahani.
उड़ते हुए पर्वत की कथा
Jab Mainaka Parvat Hanuman ko apni vichitri katha sunata hai...
Jab Hanuman samundar ke upar se udte hue Lanka ja rahe hote hain, tab samundar se Mainaka Parvat bhi apne pankhon ke sahare udte hue bahar aata hai aur Hanuman ko uske upar thahar kar vishram karne ka nivedan karta hai. Ek parvat mein pankh dekh Hanuman chauk jaate hain, tab Mainaka Parvat Hanuman ko batata hai ki ye us samay ki baat hai jab parvaton mein pankh hote the. Lekin pankh ke karan bahut se parvat udant hote chale gaye. Jab bhi koi rishi-muni parvaton par tap karne aate, parvat apne pankh ke sahare ud jaate, jisse rishi-muniyon ki tapasya bhi bhang ho jaati aur ve pahaad se girkar lahu-luhar bhi ho jaate. Jab sabhi rishi-muniyon ne is baat ki shikayat devtaon ke raja Indra se ki, to Indra gusse mein aakar apne vajr se sabhi pahaadon ke pankh kaatne lage. Magar Vayudev ne Mainaka Parvat ki sahayata ki aur use is shart par samundar mein chhupa diya ki vo phir kabhi bahar nahin aayega. Use keval ek hi baar bahar aane ka avsar milega jab Hanuman Ramkaj ke liye samundar marg se Lanka jaayenge, to vo Hanuman ko vishram karne ke liye nivedan karega. Mainaka Parvat, Vayudev ki baat maankar hamesha ke liye samundar ke andar chhupa rahta hai aur phir tabhi bahar aata hai jab Hanuman samundar ke raaste Lanka ja rahe hote hain.
