Sita’s Token and Resolve
हत्त्वा च समरे क्रूरं रावणं सहबान्धवम्।राघवौ त्वां विशालाक्षि स्वां पुरीं प्रापयिष्यतः।।5.40.16।।
hattvā ca samare krūraṃ rāvaṇaṃ sahabāndhavam | rāghavau tvāṃ viśālākṣi svāṃ purīṃ prāpayiṣyataḥ ||
हे विशालाक्षि! रण में क्रूर रावण को उसके बंधु-बांधवों सहित मारकर दोनों राघव तुम्हें तुम्हारी अपनी पुरी में पहुँचा देंगे।
"O large-eyed lady! Killing in war the vile Ravana, the demon king and all his relatives, Rama would take you back to his own city৷৷
Restorative justice: the removal of a tyrant (Rāvaṇa) is presented as necessary to re-establish dharma and reunite the rightful family.
Hanumān promises Sītā that Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa will defeat Rāvaṇa and return her safely.
Protective righteousness and steadfast commitment to rescue and reunion.
