Bearing Mountain
विभीषणवचश्श्रुत्वाजाम्बवान्वाक्यमब्रवीत् ।शृणुनैरृतशार्दूलयस्मात् पृच्छामिमारुतिम् ।।6.74.21।।
vibhīṣaṇavacaḥ śrutvā jāmbavān vākyam abravīt |
śṛṇu nairṛtaśārdūla yasmāt pṛcchāmi mārutim ||6.74.21||
Al oír las palabras de Vibhīṣaṇa, Jāmbavān respondió: «Escucha, tigre entre los rākṣasas; por esto pregunto por Māruti».
On hearing Vibheeshana, the tiger among Rakshasas, Jambavan replied, "Listen why I enquired about Maruthi."
Dharma values accountable speech—when questioned, one should explain one’s motives openly and truthfully (satya) to prevent misunderstanding.
Jāmbavān prepares to justify his special inquiry about Hanumān to Vibhīṣaṇa.
Respect and transparency—Jāmbavān answers without resentment, addressing Vibhīṣaṇa honorifically while offering reasons.
