Shloka 6.6.15
रावणस्य मन्त्रविचारः — Ravana’s Council on Strategy
तस्मात्सुमन्त्रितंसाधुभवन्तोमतिसत्तमा: ।।6.6.15।।कार्यंसम्प्रतिपद्यन्तामेतत्कृत्यंमतंमम ।
dharṣitā ca praviṣṭā ca laṅkā duṣprasahā purī |
tena vānaramātreṇa dṛṣṭā sītā ca jānakī ||6.6.2||
That hard-to-enter city of Laṅkā was violated and entered by him—by one who was, after all, only a single Vānara; and Janaka’s daughter Sītā was seen.
"On account of that, O wise ones! Think over very well, rightly of the task to be done and determine the action required by me now."
It highlights accountability in rulership: even a powerful, fortified city can be penetrated if vigilance and righteous governance fail; Dharma in kingship includes protection, alertness, and responsibility for security.
In Laṅkā, the enemy’s reconnaissance and breach are being assessed: Hanumān has entered the city and succeeded in meeting Sītā.
Hanumān’s courage and single-minded devotion to duty—accomplishing a seemingly impossible mission alone.
