दधिमुख-विज्ञापनम् / Dadhimukha Reports the Madhuvana Incident
जाम्बवान्यत्र नेता स्यादङ्गदश्च महाबलः।।।।हनुमांश्चाप्यधिष्ठाता न तस्य गतिरन्यथा।
na hy anyaḥ sādhane hetuḥ karmaṇo ’sya hanūmataḥ | kāryasiddhir matiś caiva tasmin vānarapuṅgave || vyavasāyaś ca vīryaṃ ca śrutaṃ cāpi pratiṣṭhitam |
For this task there is no truly sufficient means other than Hanumān alone. In that foremost of vānaras are firmly established success in action, sound judgment, determined effort, strength, and proven capability.
Where Jambavan, Angada and Hanuman are leaders directing the task of the army it must have been accomplished.
Dharma requires assigning responsibility to the truly capable: righteous ends are served by competence, resolve, and discernment—not mere rank.
Lakṣmaṇa explains why Hanumān is the decisive agent for the successful discovery of Sītā.
Hanumān’s integrated excellence—wisdom plus strength plus perseverance—directed toward selfless service.
