सुन्दरकाण्डे अष्टपञ्चाशः सर्गः
हनुमद्वृत्तान्तकथनम्, सीताभिज्ञान-प्रदानम्, लङ्कादाह-वर्णनम्
ततस्ताभिस्समेताभिर्नारीभिस्स महाबलः।।।।प्रसाद्य सहसा नीतो भवनं स्वं निशाचरः।
tatas tābhiḥ sametābhir nārībhiḥ sa mahābalaḥ | prasādya sahasā nīto bhavanaṃ svaṃ niśācaraḥ ||
मग त्या सर्व स्त्रिया एकत्र होऊन त्या महाबली निशाचरास प्रसन्न करून त्यास तात्काळ त्याच्या स्वभवनात घेऊन गेल्या.
"Then all the women got together and stopped the mighty night-ranger, Ravana and quickly took him back to his mansion.
Preventing immediate harm is a dharmic act; timely restraint can stop a greater sin from being committed.
The women collectively calm Rāvaṇa and escort him away, ending the immediate threat to Sītā.
Collective responsibility and courage: they act together to avert violence.
