Hanuman Chalisa chaupai - 18
Juga sahasra jojana para bhanu ,
lilyo tahi madhura phala janu .
You swallowed the Sun situated at a distance of two thousand yojanas thinking it to be a sweet fruit.
This has reference to the episode in Hanuman's childhood. When Hanuman was a new born baby, he saw the red Sun in the sky in the morning. Thinking it to be a fruit , he jumped at it to swallow it.
He had enormous power and curiosity since his childhood. This also points out that adventurous spirit was an inherent trait in Hanuman.
