Sugrīvaḥ preṣayāmāsa sacivaṃ vānaraṃ tayoḥ | buddhimantaṃ Hanūmantaṃ Himavantam iva sthitam ||
Translation
Mārkaṇḍeya said: Sugrīva dispatched his minister—Hanūmān, the wise among the Vānaras—to those two. Steady and imposing like the Himālaya itself, Hanūmān was sent as a discerning envoy, embodying the ethical duty of counsel and right action through intelligence, restraint, and loyal service.
