हनुमता सीतासंवादोपायचिन्ता — Hanuman’s Deliberation on How to Address Sita
यदि चोद्योजयिष्यामि भर्तारं रामकारणात्।व्यर्थमागमनं तस्य ससैन्यस्य भविष्यति।।।।
avekṣamāṇas tāṃ devīṃ devatām iva nandane | tato bahuvidhāṃ cintāṃ cintayāmāsa vānaraḥ ||
Gazing upon that divine lady, who appeared like a goddess in a celestial garden, the Vānara then fell into many kinds of reflection.
"If I get the lord of vanaras and his army for the cause of Rama (without talking to Sita), their arrival will be useless (if Sita would have given up her life by then).
Dharma here appears as thoughtful restraint: before acting, one must reflect on consequences so that one’s help does not inadvertently cause harm.
Hanumān has located Sītā in Laṅkā and, seeing her condition, begins carefully thinking through how to approach and speak to her.
Prudence (viveka) combined with compassion—Hanumān’s concern is not merely to act quickly, but to act rightly and safely.
