सीताहनूमद्भाषणम् — Sita Tests the Messenger; Hanuman Offers Reassurance
स्थानक्रोधः प्रहर्ता च श्रेष्ठो लोके महारथः।बाहुच्छायामवष्टब्धो यस्य लोको महात्मनः।।।।
sthānakrodhaḥ prahartā ca śreṣṭho loke mahārathaḥ ।
bāhucchāyām avaṣṭabdho yasya loko mahātmanaḥ ॥
His anger falls only where it is due, and he punishes the guilty. He is the foremost great charioteer in the world; under the shelter of that great soul’s arms, the world finds refuge.
"He shows anger to one who deserves it, he is the foremost charioteer of the world and he is a great self under the shadow of whose shoulders the whole world takes refuge.
Just governance: anger and punishment are ethical only when directed appropriately—protecting the innocent and restraining wrongdoing.
Hanumān portrays Rāma as a protector-king whose disciplined force will secure Sītā and restore order.
Rāma’s measured justice—strength governed by restraint and responsibility.
