'I remembed Matanga's curse to Vali, king of monkeys. Vali would not enter the site of Matanga's hermitage as his head would break into a hundred pieces if he did'. Therefore we thought it would be safe for us to reside in that place.

MatangaFAQs
Respect for ṛṣi-authority and moral boundaries: a cursed, protected sacred space functions as a dharmic refuge where wrongdoing (trespass by the offender) is restrained.
Hanumān recalls Matanga’s curse on Vālī and identifies the hermitage precinct as a safe place where Vālī will not dare to enter.
Hanumān’s discernment—remembering sacred constraints and using them to protect the vulnerable.
