Contrary to his usual dynamic posture, Hanuman here is shown poised in meditation. Indeed one of Hanuman's epithets is Yogachara, 'the master of yoga.' He is adorned with necklaces of pearls, elaborate earrings, and hair tied up like a swirling crown. This figure epitomizes Hanuman's character at his very best - powerful, yet humble, as exemplified in his calm, relaxed, and unpretentious meditative demeanour. Here is the monkey general adored by countless devotees for the impossible feat he performed - locating Sita by jumping across the ocean to Lanka, giving her a message form Rama, and returning to fight the final battle. He is the one whom devotees beseech for help when confronting difficulties:
Lord who achieved the impossible before you how can one speak of the impossible? O messenger of Rama, O ocean of mercy make my task achievable, O Lord.
(A popular Sanskrit prayer to Hanuman)
