Rahim
Abdul Rahim was known for his strange manner of giving alms to the poor. He never looked at the person he was giving alms to, keeping his gaze downwards in all humility. When Tulsidas heard about Rahim's behaviour when giving alms, he promptly wrote a couplet and sent it to Rahim:-
"ऐसी देनी देंन ज्यूँ, कित सीखे हो सैन
ज्यों ज्यों कर ऊंच्यो करो, त्यों त्यों निचे नैन"
"Why give alms like this? Where did you learn that? Your hands are as high as your eyes are low"
Realizing that Tulsidas was well aware of the reasons behind his actions, and was merely giving him an opportunity to say a few lines in reply, he wrote to Tulsidas saying:-
"देनहार कोई और है, भेजत जो दिन रैन
लोग भरम हम पर करे, तासो निचे नैन"

dark fair
Meanwhile there arrived the two princes, the very abodes of beauty as it were, both ocean of goodness, polished in manners and gallent heroes, charming of forms, the one dark and the other fair.
Thus, shone in the assembly of kings, the two lovely princes of Ayodhyå, the one dark and the other fair one catching the eyes of the whole universe.
utter
With joy in their heart the women saw Him according to the attitude of mind each had towards Him, as if the erotic sentiment itself had appeared in an utterly incomparable form.
ineffable
The devotees of Hari beheld the two brothers as their beloved deity, the fountain of all joy. The emotion of love and joy with which Sitå gazed on Lord Råma was ineffable.
Yogis
The queen, no less than the king, regarded Him with unspeakable love like a dear child. To the Yogis (those ever united with God) He shone forth as no other than the Highest truth, placid, unsullied, equipoised, and resplendent by its very nature.
princes
The demons, who were cunningly disguised as princes, beheld the Lord as Death in visible form, while the citizens regarded the two brothers as the ornaments of humanity and the delight of their eyes.
Cosmic
The wise saw the Lord in His cosmic form, with many faces, hands, feet, eyes and heads. And how did He appear to Janak’s kinsmen ? Like one’s own beloved relation.
In my knowledge, Hanuman showed His VirAT Roop which could mean 2 things- 1. A huge form Spanning the region between Earth and the Sky.
In this sense Hanuman showed His VirAT Roop to Sitaji to give Her the confidence that He could simply carry Her across the sea and place Her in Rama's company. Sitaji then smiles and blesses Him but refuses the offer politely, saying She does not doubt His ability but, She as an avowed “pativratA” cannot allow the touch of a person other than Her husband. Hsnuman - the Paragon of Excellent, Proper and pertinent behavior bows low before Her and resumes His humble form.
Then there is the concept of Panchamukhi Hanuman which is a kind of VirAT Roop of His in Tantric Worship.
The kind of VirAT Roop a picturization of the PuruShasUktam was shown only to Arjuna to shake off his moral logjam.
The VirAT Roop shown at the Kaurava SabhA when Lord KRShNa went to negotiate peace was similar to Hanuman's to Sitaji.
KRShNa ultimately blessed KarNa with a vision of VitAT Roop so that he many not bear any animosity to anyone, and by implication we must consider Karna as having been given Mukti.
