Hanuman very happy at Suvarnamatsya's words gazed at her in admiration. She looked back at him and as it happens with beings, mutual love sprouted! Suvaranamatsya liked him as he was young, strong and handsome! She loved his soft voice and his concern for others and believed that he possessed multitude of extraordinary virtues.
As she looked at him she felt she had lost control over her mind. 'I do not know what I should do in this situation. As if confounded, as if dishevelled, as if highly agitated, like a creeper I long for a resort to the tree of valor. Is the same emotion, which is agitating my heart, in the mind of the handsome one! Is he also deeply pierced by the arrows of the Cupid?'
While made to dance over the waves of various lovely deliberations Suvarnamatsya did not utter a single word. The valorous son of the Wind also possessed of the most beautiful and slender form, looking at her also lost his control over his mind.
She revealed her fire of love which had taken firm roots under the pretext of sighs. Both with their hearts full of happiness born of deeply concealed emotions, both, the son of the Wind and the delightful Suvarnamatsya, were vehemently pierced by the arrows of Cupid.
Nature took its course and they were brought to a wonderful state by Cupid. And made to dance on the uninterrupted series of the waves of the ocean of delight both spent the night together. In the morning the happy monkey leapt up from the ocean and came again to his place. The beautiful fish-girl went to Lanka and before reaching Lanka, she gave birth to a child, the son of Hanuman and Macchanu by name. She afraid that her father would be angry left her son on the shore of the ocean. This boy Macchanu grew up with the passage of time and became powerful and valorous like his father.
Hanuman is totally a different person in Thailand, while Hanuman is worshipped as a God in India! I was always curious about the Vada Mala seva and would ask my mother 'Why Vada for Hanuman?' I could understand fruits, especially Banana as a naivedhya, but a vada?
The story is long and is linked here! In short it pleases Rahu, a Graha, who likes urad dal and one is free from Rahu Dosha if Hanuman is adorned with a vada mala. That is how we are, we use Hanuman as vehicle for our benefit, but it again shows us how selfless Hanuman is, he allows us to use him to please Rahu! You also learn that in the North the pershad is Jangiri, also made of Urad dal!
