इन्द्रजित्-लक्ष्मणयुद्धम् तथा वानरप्रोत्साहनम् (Indrajit–Lakshmana Battle and the Rallying of the Vanaras)
हनुमानपिसङ्क्रुद्धःसानुमुत्पाट्यपर्वतात् ।।।।स लक्ष्मणंस्वयंपृष्ठादवरोप्यमहामनाः ।रक्षसांकदनंचक्रेसमासाद्यसहस्रशः ।।।।
hanumān api saṅkruddhaḥ sānum utpāṭya parvatāt | sa lakṣmaṇaṃ svayaṃ pṛṣṭhād avaropya mahāmanāḥ | rakṣasāṃ kadanaṃ cakre samāsādya sahasraśaḥ ||
Hanumān too, inflamed with fury, uprooted a sāla tree from the mountainside; then that great-souled one set Lakṣmaṇa down from his back and, pressing into the enemy ranks, began to cut down the rākṣasas by the thousand.
Great self-Hanuman too became furious and dismounting Lakshmana from his back uprooted a sala tree from a mountain and went on exterminating thousands of Rakshasas.
Dharma here is protective courage: Hanumān prioritizes safeguarding Lakṣmaṇa (a righteous warrior incapacitated by circumstances) and then confronts adharma in battle, showing that strength is to be used in defense of the just.
In the midst of the Lanka war, Hanumān carries Lakṣmaṇa; he sets him down safely and then attacks the rākṣasa forces in overwhelming numbers.
Hanumān’s vīrya (valor) joined with bhakti and responsibility—swiftly ensuring Lakṣmaṇa’s safety and then acting decisively against hostile forces.
