Vaishampayana said: "Thus addressed, the mighty-armed and powerful Bhimasena bowed with love to his brother, and with a joyful heart said in a gentle voice to the lord of monkeys, Hanuman: 'There is none more fortunate than I, for I have seen my elder. Great is my blessing, and I am satisfied by the sight of you. But today I wish you to do me a kindness: show me, hero, that incomparable form you bore when you leapt across the ocean, the abode of sea-monsters. Then I shall be content, and I shall believe your word.' Thus addressed, the radiant Hari, laughing, replied: 'That form cannot be seen by you, nor by anyone else. At that time there was a different state of time; it is not so now. In the Krita Yuga time is one thing, in Treta another, in Dvapara another still; the present time is one of destruction, and I no longer have that form now. Earth, rivers, trees, mountains, siddhas, gods and great sages follow time, as conditions in each yuga; strength, bodily stature and influence wane and arise in turn. Therefore it is enough for you to have seen that form, descendant of Kuru. I follow the yuga, for time is hard to overcome.' Bhima said: 'Tell me the number of the yugas, and the conduct proper to each yuga; the states of dharma, kama and artha, the body, the strength, being and non-being.'"

Bhima wishes to see a wonder, but Hanuman turns his gaze toward time itself. Even Rama's great servant acknowledges the law of the yugas: strength must know the measure of its age.
