रावणभवनपरिक्रमणं हनूमतः शोकविचारश्च
Hanuman’s Circuit of Ravana’s Palace and the Crisis of Deliberation
स गत्वा मनसा पूर्वमशोकवनिकां शुभाम्।उत्तरं चिन्तयामास वानरो मारुतात्मजः।।।।
sa gatvā manasā pūrvam aśokavanikāṃ śubhām |
uttaraṃ cintayāmāsa vānaro mārutātmajaḥ ||
તે વાનર, મારુતાત્મજ હનુમાન, મનમાં પહેલેથી જ શુભ અશોકવનિકામાં પહોંચી, પછી આગળ શું કરવું તે વિષે ફરી વિચારવા લાગ્યો.
Hanuman started thinking again about his task after reaching the auspicious Ashoka grove.
Dharma includes thoughtful deliberation: right action is preceded by right thinking, especially when the goal is protection of the innocent and service to truth.
Approaching Aśoka-vāṭikā, Hanuman pauses internally to plan the next steps of the search and rescue mission.
Foresight and self-control—he does not rush; he plans.
