Sita’s Token and Resolve
वैदेह्या वचनं श्रुत्वा करुणं साश्रु भाषितम्।अथाब्रवीन्महातेजा हनुमान्मारुतात्मजः।।5.40.12।।
vaidehyā vacanaṃ śrutvā karuṇaṃ sāśru bhāṣitam | athābravīn mahātejā hanumān mārutātmajaḥ ||
Als der strahlende Hanumān, der Sohn des Windes, Vaidehīs mitleidvolle, tränenreiche Worte vernahm, erwiderte er daraufhin.
Hearing the words of Sita who was weeping piteously, brilliant Hanuman said this:
Dharma as compassionate duty: Hanumān responds responsibly to suffering, offering steadiness and truthful reassurance rather than panic.
After Sītā’s tearful speech, Hanumān begins his consoling reply.
Karunā (compassion) joined with courage and clarity in speech.
