विभीषणाभिषेकः (Vibhīṣaṇa’s Consecration) and Hanumān’s Commission to Sītā

रावणस्यवधंघोरंराघवस्यपराक्रमम् ।सुयुद्धंवानराणां च सुग्रीवस्य च मन्त्रितम् ।।।।अनुरागं च वीर्यं च सौमित्रेर्लक्ष्मणस्य च ।पतिव्रतात्वंसीतायाहनूमतिपराक्रमम् ।।।।कथयन्तोमहाभागाजग्मुर्हष्टायथागतम् ।

rāvaṇasya vadhaṃ ghoraṃ rāghavasya parākramam |

suyuddhaṃ vānarāṇāṃ ca sugrīvasya ca mantritam ||

anurāgaṃ ca vīryaṃ ca saumitrer lakṣmaṇasya ca |

pativratātvaṃ sītāyā hanūmati parākramam ||

kathayanto mahābhāgā jagmur hṛṣṭā yathāgatam ||

Recounting the dreadful slaying of Rāvaṇa, Rāghava’s prowess, the Vānaras’ valiant battle, and Sugrīva’s wise counsel; and also Lakṣmaṇa Saumitrī’s affection and heroism, Sītā’s wifely fidelity, and Hanūmān’s valor—those noble ones, rejoicing, departed and returned the way they had come.

Speaking about the highly respected Raghava's prowess, the end of dreadful Ravana, the good fighting of Vanaras, counsel of Sugriva, valour of Hanuman, love of Lakshmana, fidelity of Sita, all rejoiced and returned as they had come.

By celebrating each person’s rightful role—Rāma’s righteous strength, the Vānaras’ loyal service, Sugrīva’s prudent counsel, Lakṣmaṇa’s devoted support, Sītā’s steadfast virtue, and Hanūmān’s selfless valor—the verse presents victory as the restoration of dharmic order rather than mere conquest.

Satya appears in the truthful remembrance and public recounting of deeds as they occurred—honoring real merit and integrity (especially Sītā’s fidelity and the allies’ loyal conduct), which reinforces that lasting joy comes from truth-aligned action.
