अङ्गदसंवादः / Sampati and Angada: Genealogy, Jatayu, and the Search Vow
ते प्रायमुपविष्टास्तु दृष्ट्वा गृध्रं प्लवङ्गमाः।चक्रुर्बुद्धिं तदा रौद्रां सर्वान्नो भक्षयिष्यति।।।।
te prāyam upaviṣṭās tu dṛṣṭvā gṛdhraṃ plavaṅgamāḥ | cakrur buddhiṃ tadā raudrāṃ sarvān no bhakṣayiṣyati ||
ପ୍ରାୟୋପବେଶନରେ ବସିଥିବା ସେହି ପ୍ଲବଙ୍ଗମାନେ ଗୃଧ୍ରକୁ ଦେଖି ସେତେବେଳେ ଭୟଙ୍କର ଚିନ୍ତା କଲେ—“ଏହା ଆମ ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କୁ ଭକ୍ଷି ଦେବ।”
On seeing the vulture, the monkeys fasting unto death got a terrible thought in theirminds that the vulture might eat them.
Dharma-oriented discernment warns against fear-driven conclusions; anxiety can distort judgment and lead to injustice.
While fasting to death due to failure in the search, the vānaras see Sampāti and assume he intends to eat them.
A negative lesson: the need for steadiness of mind (dhairya) instead of panic.
