लक्ष्मण-प्राणरक्षा: (Lakshmana’s Revival by the Herb-Mountain)
अगृह्ययदिगच्छामिविशल्यकरणीमहम् ।।।।कालात्ययेनदोषःस्याद्वैक्लब्यं च महद्भवेत् ।
asmiṃs tu śikhare jātām oṣadhiṃ tāṃ sukhāvahām |
pratarkeṇāvagacchāmi suṣeṇo hy evam abravīt ||
By reasoning I conclude that the healing herb—the one that brings relief—grows on this very peak, for Suṣeṇa said so.
'If I go without taking Visalakarani, through the passage of time huge mistakes will happen and perplexity will arise'.
Dharma includes relying on truthful, competent guidance (satya-yukta upadeśa) and using reason to act responsibly in a crisis.
Hanuman infers the herb’s location based on Sushena’s instruction about where the life-saving plant grows.
Discernment (viveka): Hanuman combines expert testimony with inference to choose the right course.
