लक्ष्मण-प्राणरक्षा: (Lakshmana’s Revival by the Herb-Mountain)

अस्मिंस्तुशिखरेजातामोषधिंतांसुखावहाम् ।।।।प्रतर्केणावगच्छामिसुषेणोह्यवमब्रवीत् ।

tasya buddhiḥ samutpannā māruter amitojasaḥ |

idam eva gamiṣyāmi gṛhītvā śikharaṃ gireḥ ||

Then a keen resolve arose in Hanumān, the son of the Wind, of boundless energy: “I will go at once—taking the mountain’s peak itself.”

By reasoning it is known that the herb which is good for him is grown in this peak, for Sushena said so.

H
Hanuman (Maruti)
W
Wind-god (implicit as father)
M
Mountain peak

Dharma is expressed as decisive service: when the righteous goal is saving a life, one chooses the most effective action rather than hesitating over uncertainty.

Hanuman needs a life-saving herb but cannot identify it with certainty, so he resolves to bring the entire peak where the herbs grow.

Pragmatic wisdom joined with courage—Hanuman chooses a solution that guarantees success under time pressure.
