रामलक्षणवर्णनम् (Description of Rama and Lakshmana; Alliance Narrative to Sita)
स च देवर्षिभिर्दिष्टः पिता मम महाकपिः।तीर्थे नदीपतेः पुण्ये शम्बसादनमुद्धरत्।।।।
sa ca devarṣibhir diṣṭaḥ pitā mama mahākapiḥ | tīrthe nadīpateḥ puṇye śambasādanam uddharat ||
And that great ape—foretold by the devarṣis to be my father—at a holy ford by the Lord of Rivers (the sea), raised up a tract of land and overcame Śambasādana.
"He (Kesari) is said to be my father by the divine sages. He retrieved a piece of land in a holy spot of that sea shore and killed Sambasadana, a demon who was oppressing righteous people.
Dharma includes protecting the righteous and restoring order: the father-figure is portrayed as acting at a sacred place to remove oppression, aligning strength with moral purpose.
Hanuman continues his self-identification by recounting traditions about his father and a deed associated with a holy coastal site.
Lineage of valor guided by righteousness—power used to lift burdens and defeat harmful forces.
