कुम्भकर्णवधः
The Slaying of Kumbhakarna
अयंमुहूर्तात्सुग्रीवोलब्दसंज्ञोमहाहवे ।आत्मनोवानराणां च यत्पथ्यंतत्करिष्यति ।।।।
ayaṃ muhūrtāt sugrīvo labdhasaṃjño mahāhave | ātmano vānarāṇāṃ ca yat pathyaṃ tat kariṣyati ||
ഈ മഹായുദ്ധത്തിൽ അല്പസമയത്തിനകം സുഗ്രീവൻ ബോധം വീണ്ടെടുക്കും; തനിക്കും വാനരർക്കും ഹിതകരമായതു തന്നെയാകും ചെയ്യുക.
Sugriva will soon regain consciousness and do what is good for Vanaras.
Dharma is acting for the common good (pathya): leadership is measured by choices that benefit both oneself and one’s dependents.
Hanumān reassures others that Sugrīva’s stupor is temporary and that he will soon act wisely for the army.
Steadfast optimism grounded in judgment—Hanumān’s confidence is not naive but based on understanding Sugrīva’s resilience.
