Ravana Deploys Five Generals; Hanuman Destroys the Commanders and the Remaining Host
हतान्मन्त्रिसुतान् बुद्ध्वा वानरेण महात्मना।रावणस्संवृताकारश्चकार मतिमुत्तमाम्।।।।
hatān mantrisutān buddhvā vānarena mahātmanā |
rāvaṇaḥ saṃvṛtākāraś cakāra matim uttamām ||
ពេលរាវណៈដឹងថា កូនប្រុសរបស់មន្ត្រីទាំងឡាយត្រូវវានរមហាត្មាសម្លាប់ គាត់បានលាក់បាំងការរអាក់រអួលក្នុងចិត្ត ហើយគិតគម្រោងដ៏ល្អឥតខ្ចោះ។
Coming to know that the seven sons of the ministers were slain by the great vanara, Ravana, who had concealed his feelings of agony thought of a good plan.
Strategic self-control: governance and conflict demand restraint and clear counsel; emotion must not override prudent decision-making.
After Hanumān kills prominent rākṣasa youths (ministers’ sons), Rāvaṇa suppresses visible distress and turns to strategy.
Composure and calculation (even if used for adharma): the verse highlights controlled outward demeanor and deliberate planning.
