Rama's sand linga and Hanuman's pride

Variant

Hanuman could not budge a linga made of sand.

Rama sends Hanuman to fetch a linga from Kashi, but he is late. Rama consecrates one of sand before the auspicious moment passes. Hanuman, disappointed, is told he may remove it; he cannot move it, recognizes his pride and worships Rama. Rama then consecrates Hanuman's linga alongside the sand one.
