Hanuman’s Deliberation on How to Address Sita
इक्ष्वाकूणां वरिष्ठस्य रामस्य विदितात्मनः।।।।शुभानि धर्मयुक्तानि वचनानि समर्पयन्।श्रावयिष्यामि सर्वाणि मधुरां प्रब्रुवन् गिरम्।।।।श्रद्धास्यति यथाहीयं तथा सर्वं समादधे।
ikṣvākūṇāṃ variṣṭhasya rāmasya viditātmanaḥ |
śubhāni dharmayuktāni vacanāni samarpayan |
śrāvayiṣyāmi sarvāṇi madhurāṃ prabruvan giram |
śraddhāsyati yathā hīyaṃ tathā sarvaṃ samādadhe ||
इक्ष्वाकुवंशातील श्रेष्ठ, आत्मज्ञ रामांची शुभ व धर्मयुक्त वचने मी तिला अर्पण करीन; मधुर वाणीने सर्व काही ऐकवीन, जेणेकरून तिचा माझ्यावर विश्वास बसेल—अशा रीतीने मी सर्व संदेश यथावत् पोहोचवीन।
"The moon-faced Sita had never experienced sorrow before. She sees no end to her sorrow and suffering. I will console her.

Having decided to approach Sītā, Hanumān plans how to speak: he will praise and describe Rāma with words aligned to dharma and in a sweet tone so Sītā will trust him.
Vāk-saṃyama and upāya-kauśalya (disciplined, skillful speech): Hanumān combines truth with gentle delivery to build trust.
