SUMMARY: Srirama, who grasps others’ qualities instantly and is an inimitable warrior, drew Hanumatha near his ears, whispered a secret message and bade him adieu. Like an arrow shot from the bow after pulling its string till the ear, pro-virtuous Hanumantha shone like a terror of enemies.
Hidden meaning: Srirama asked Hanumantha to lend a close ear, whispered a message to him and this was like an arrow that Srirama was preparing to fire at Ravana by pulling the string of his bow up to his ear after setting the arrow on it to give it the force and velocity to reach and behead Ravana in the war that was imminent. In BalithThA Sukta it is explicit as:
Yadeemupa hwaratE sADhatE matirrrutasya DhEnA anayanta susrutaha||
This conveys the same meaning as the one Sri Narayana Panditacharyaru has explained here.

SUMMARY: Oh, the new cloud called Hanumantha made the rich plant in the form of Seetha Devi feel very happy by creating a rain that was in the form of sweet message of Srirama. With the fire in the tail, he burnt the tree that was in the form of demons, crossed the ocean and bowed in front of the feet of Lord Sri Hari (Srirama).
Additional point: By comparing Hanumantha to a special cloud, Sri Narayana Panditacharyaru has cryptically summarised the entire Sundarakanda in one Shloka. Seetha Devi has been compared to a plant and the demons to a tree.

He is neither the Golden Eagle (Garuda) who has wings to fly; he does not prey on snakes either; yet he carried Srirama, who carries the entire universe on his shoulders, on his shoulders; he thus overtook Garuda in flying as well as bravery. What an astonishing sight it is!
Hanumantha is not desirous of luxury like Garuda because he does not feed on snakes and he is a pure Brahmachari, a chaste and characterful person. He was in the form of a monkey. Yet he became the vehicle of Srirama, though Garuda is the original vehicle of Lord Vishnu.
(These stanzas further establish Hanumantha as a devotee of Sri Hari beyond imagination, explanation and description. In status too, he is superior than Garuda. This point has been very well explained in these Shlokas. Please read, comment and share. SDN)
