laṅghanaṁ ca samudrasya laṅkāyāś cāpi mardhanam |

saphalaṁ tasya ca ślāghyam adya karma hanūmataḥ ||6.118.7||

Hanumān’s leap across the ocean and his crushing of Laṅkā have today borne fruit, and his deed is worthy of praise.

"When you were alone you were abducted by the fickle minded Rakshasa. The fault of destiny has been won by me, a mortal by the will of god।।"

Dharma recognizes and honors righteous service: noble effort done for a just cause becomes ‘fruitful’ and deserves public praise.

Rāma credits Hanumān’s earlier heroic acts—crossing the ocean and striking fear in Laṅkā—as key steps leading to the present victory.

Bhakti expressed as courageous service: unwavering loyalty translated into decisive action.
