पञ्चषष्टितमः सर्गः — वानराणां प्लवन-पराक्रम-निरूपणम्
Assessment of the Vanaras’ Leaping Capacity; Jambavan Motivates Hanuman
तद्यथा ह्यस्य कार्यस्य न भवत्यन्यथा गतिः।तद्भवानेव दृष्टार्थस्सञ्चिन्तयितु मर्हति।।।।
tad yathā hy asya kāryasya na bhavaty anyathā gatiḥ |
tad bhavān eva dṛṣṭārthaḥ sañcintayituṃ arhati ||
Oleh sebab tiada jalan lain untuk menyempurnakan tugas ini, maka tuanlah—yang melihat hakikat perkara—patut menimbang dengan saksama upayanya.
On listening to Angada's words, Jambavan, the bull among monkeys, replied this way:
Dharma in crisis is to seek wise counsel and choose the truthful, workable path—not escapism or blame.
Aṅgada urges Jāmbavān, recognized as discerning, to propose a practical solution so the mission does not fail.
Humility and strategic prudence—knowing when to rely on superior wisdom.
