किष्किन्धाकाण्डे द्वात्रिंशः सर्गः — Lakshmana’s Anger Reported; Hanuman Advises Propitiation and Timely Mobilization
अतो निमित्तं त्रस्तोहं रामेण तु महात्मना।यन्मयोपकृतं शक्यं प्रतिकर्तुं न तन्मया।।
tasya mūrdhnā praṇamya tvaṃ sa-putraḥ sa-suhṛj-janaḥ | rājan tiṣṭhasva samaye bhartur bhāryeva tad-vaśaḥ ||
O King, bow your head to him, together with your son and your loyal friends. Abide by your pledged word at the appointed time, submissive to it as a wife to her husband’s rightful authority.
'Therefore, I am apprehensive of Rama. I am not able to repay the help he has rendered to me'.
Satya as dharma: uphold one’s pledged word (samaya). Humility and visible respect help restore moral order when a promise is at stake.
Hanumān instructs Sugrīva to pacify Rāma/Lakṣmaṇa by bowing and recommitting to the alliance and its promised duties.
Fidelity to promises and disciplined submission to righteous obligation.
