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

समागम्यमहावेगःसंन्यस्यशिखरंगिरेः ।।।।विश्रम्यकिञ्चिद्धनुमान्सुषेणमिदमब्रवीत् ।

oṣadhīr nāvagacchāmi tā ahaṃ haripuṅgava |

tad idaṃ śikharaṃ kṛtsnaṃ gires tasyāhṛtaṃ mayā ||

“O foremost of the vanaras, I could not recognize those herbs; therefore I have brought here the entire peak of that mountain.”

Hanuman came at high speed with the mountain and letting it down and resting for a while spoke as follows.

H
Hanuman
S
Sushena
H
Herbs (oṣadhi)
M
Mountain peak

Satya (truthfulness) supports dharma: Hanuman plainly admits his limitation and still fulfills duty by ensuring the remedy can be found.

Hanuman informs Sushena that he could not distinguish the herbs, so he transported the whole peak for identification.

Honest humility—he neither pretends knowledge nor abandons the task.
