औषधिपर्वताहरणम् / The Retrieval of the Herb-Bearing Mountain
तस्मिन् सम्पीड्यमानेतुभग्नद्रुमशिलातले ।न शेकुर्वानरास्स्थातुंघूर्णमानेनगोत्तमे ।।6.74.39।।
tasmin sampīḍyamāne tu bhagna-druma-śilā-tale | na śekur vānarāḥ sthātuṃ ghūrṇamānena gottame ||6.74.39||
As that best of mountains was being crushed—its surface strewn with broken trees and rocks—the vānaras could not keep their footing upon it as it reeled and shook.
As the foremost of the mountain got oppressed it crushed the trees and rocks on it and Vanaras were unable to stand on it.
Dharma recognizes the gravity of collective crisis: the community is destabilized, and hence the urgency of the healer’s mission is morally reinforced.
The mountain shakes under pressure; other vānaras cannot stand steady, highlighting the intensity of Hanumān’s launch.
Mission-first decisiveness—Hanumān’s action proceeds despite upheaval around him.
