HanumānFAQs
Dharma as social order: a guardian challenges an unknown entrant before allowing passage, emphasizing accountability and lawful entry (even within an enemy city).
The city’s guardian blocks Hanumān’s way and begins interrogation, announcing herself with a loud call.
Firmness in duty (niyama): the guardian does not ignore an intrusion.
