नाग्निस्तृप्यति काष्ठानां तृणानां च यथा तथा॥ हनूमान् राक्षसेन्द्राणां वधे किंचिन्न तृप्यति। न हनूमद्विशस्तानां राक्षसानां वसुन्धरा ॥

nāgnistṛpyati kāṣṭhānāṃ tṛṇānāṃ ca yathā tathā|| hanūmān rākṣasendrāṇāṃ vadhe kiṃcinna tṛpyati| na hanūmadviśastānāṃ rākṣasānāṃ vasundharā ||

English Meaning

And as Fire is not cloyed with wood and straw, Hanumān never at all felt satiety on slaying those foremost of Räkşasas. And the Earth could not contain the Rākşasas slain by Hanumăn.
