Verse 36.45

सर्वासु विद्यासु तपोविधाने प्रस्पर्धतेऽयं हि गुरुं सुराणाम्। प्रवीविविक्षोरिव सागरस्य लोकान्दिधक्षोरिव पावकस्य। लोकक्षयेष्वेव यथान्तकस्य हनूमतः स्थास्यति कः पुरस्तात्॥

sarvāsu vidyāsu tapovidhāne praspardhate'yaṃ hi guruṃ surāṇām| pravīvivikṣoriva sāgarasya lokāndidhakṣoriva pāvakasya| lokakṣayeṣveva yathāntakasya hanūmataḥ sthāsyati kaḥ purastāt||

English Meaning

He actually rivals the teacher of gods, i.e. Bșhaspati in all the branches of learning and austerities. Who can stand before Hanuman who resembled like ocean likely to engulf the worlds and like fire likely to burn the worlds at the time of decreation of universo.
