एवमुक्तः कपिश्रेष्ठस्तं नगोत्तममब्रवीत्।प्रीतोऽस्मि कृतमातिथ्यं मन्युरेषोऽपनीयताम्।।।।
evam uktaḥ kapiśreṣṭhas taṃ nagottamam abravīt |
prīto ’smi kṛtam ātithyaṃ manyur eṣo ’panīyatām ||
Thus addressed, the foremost of monkeys said to that best of mountains: “I am pleased; your hospitality is duly offered—let this distress be set aside.”
The great Hanuman, pleased with the words of Mainaka, said "I am pleased at yourhospitality. Remove your unhappiness.
Dharma is polite truthfulness and reassurance: Hanuman acknowledges the hospitality sincerely while calming Maināka’s worry, showing speech that is both true and compassionate.
Hanuman replies to Maināka’s invitation, expressing appreciation and asking him to abandon any sadness or concern.
Hanuman’s courtesy (vinaya) and emotional steadiness—he honors the host while staying mission-focused.
