Ravana Deploys Five Generals; Hanuman Destroys the Commanders and the Remaining Host
महत्सत्त्वमिदं ज्ञेयं कपिरूपं व्यवस्थितम्।।।।प्रयत्नं महदास्थाय क्रियतामस्य निग्रहः।
mahat sattvam idaṃ jñeyaṃ kapirūpaṃ vyavasthitam |
prayatnaṃ mahad āsthāya kriyatām asya nigrahaḥ ||
Ketahuilah dengan pasti: suatu makhluk agung berdiri di sini, menetap dalam rupa seekor kera. Maka, kerahkan usaha yang luar biasa dan ambillah langkah untuk menundukkan serta menangkapnya.
"It should be understood that he has taken the form of a monkey. You have to put in extraordinary effort to capture him by acting in a suitable manner.
Do not judge by appearance: dharma requires seeing the true capacity behind an outer form and responding responsibly.
Rāvaṇa recognizes Hanumān as no ordinary monkey and commands intensified efforts to restrain him.
Strategic discernment: identifying the real nature of a threat and adapting tactics accordingly.
