पृथिवीमण्डलपरिज्ञानम्
Sugriva on Surveying the Earth’s Regions
सम्पश्यन्विविधान्देशानस्तं च गिरिसत्तमम्।प्राप्य चास्तं गिरिश्रेष्ठमुत्तरां सम्प्रधावितः।।।।
sampaśyan vividhān deśān astaṁ ca girisattamam |
prāpya cāstaṁ giriśreṣṭham uttarāṁ sampradhāvitaḥ ||
Vendo muitas regiões, alcancei o excelente monte chamado Asta, o monte do poente; e, chegando a esse cume supremo, corri para o quadrante do norte.
Then offering reverential salutation to Rama, Sugriva said, 'I shall narrate in detail. Listen, O bull among men !
Dharma is the continued search for rightful shelter and stability; the narrative models persistence guided by hope rather than vengeance.
Sugrīva describes reaching the ‘sunset’ mountain and then fleeing onward to the north.
Determination—continuing the quest for safety across vast regions.
