इन्द्रजित्-हनूमद्-युद्धं तथा निकुम्भिलायां होमः (Indrajit vs Hanuman; Indrajit’s Nikumbhila rite)
इममर्थंहिविज्ञाप्यरामंसुग्रीवमेव च ।।।।तौयत्प्रतिविधास्येतेतत्करिष्यामहेवयम् ।
kasmād viṣaṇṇavadanā vidravadhvaṃ plavaṅgamāḥ | tyaktayuddhasamutsāhāḥ śūratvaṃ kva nu vo gatam ||
“O monkeys, why do you flee with downcast faces, having cast aside your zeal for battle? Where has your valor gone?”
"On telling this fact (that Indrajith has killed Sita) to Rama and Sugriva and knowing their reply we will do what is to be done."
Dharma here is steadfastness in a righteous cause: abandoning courage and fleeing from duty in crisis is censured.
After a frightening turn in battle, the Vanara fighters begin to lose heart and retreat; Hanuman calls them back to courage.
Moral courage and leadership—Hanuman rekindles collective resolve and refuses surrender to despair.
