उत्तमं राक्षसावासं हनुमानवलोकयन्।आससादाथ लक्ष्मीवान् राक्षसेन्द्रनिवेशनम्।।5.9.4।।चतुर्विषाणैर्द्विरदैस्त्रिविषाणैस्तथैव च।परिक्षिप्तमसम्बाधं रक्ष्यमाणमुदायुधैः।।5.9.5।।
uttamaṁ rākṣasāvāsaṁ hanumān avalokayan |
āsasādātha lakṣmīvān rākṣasendraniveśanam ||5.9.4||
caturviṣāṇair dviradais triviṣāṇais tathaiva ca |
parikṣiptam asambādhaṁ rakṣyamāṇam udāyudhaiḥ ||5.9.5||
Surveying the finest mansions of the rākṣasas, the radiant Hanumān at last reached the dwelling of the lord of the rākṣasas. It was spacious and unobstructed, encircled by elephants with two, three, and even four tusks, and guarded by weapon-bearing sentries.
The illustrious Hanuman felt it to be correct to compare those faces with lotuses for their fragrance.
Dharma appears as courageous duty: Hanumān enters a heavily guarded enemy stronghold for a righteous purpose (seeking Sītā), showing that right action may require boldness and risk.
During the night reconnaissance in Laṅkā, Hanumān finishes surveying demon residences and arrives at the palace of the rākṣasa-king, noting its formidable defenses.
Valor joined with prudence: Hanumān advances into danger while remaining observant and strategic.
