abravīt tāṃ tu śokārtāṃ nirānandāṃ tapasvinīm | dṛṣṭvā rathasthitāṃ dṛṣṭvā rākṣasendrasutaśritām ||
kiṃ samarthitam asyeti cintayan sa mahākapiḥ | saha tair vānaraiḥ śreṣṭhair abhyadhāvata rāvaṇim ||
Seeing her—grief-stricken and joyless, living like an ascetic—seated in the chariot and under the rākṣasa prince’s power, the great ape wondered what had been done to her; and with the foremost vānaras he charged at Rāvaṇi (Indrajit).
Great Vanara, Hanuman, gazing at miserable, joyless, ascetic woman seated in the chariot, worried, why she is in the chariot. He spoke to the best of Vanara leaders and rushed towards the son of Ravana with them.
When adharma uses intimidation and display, dharma responds with clear recognition of wrongdoing and readiness to protect, not with paralysis or despair.
A repeated narration (recensional) of Hanumān’s alarm at seeing Sītā in the chariot and his immediate charge at Indrajit.
Protective valor (śaurya) joined with discernment—Hanumān first assesses, then acts.
