Sita’s Token and Resolve
यथा च स महाबाहुर्मां तारयति राघवः।अस्माद्दु:खाम्बुसम्रोधात्त्वं समाधातुमर्हसि।।5.40.23।।
yathā ca sa mahābāhur māṃ tārayati rāghavaḥ |
asmād duḥkhāmbusamrodhāt tvaṃ samādhātum arhasi ||5.40.23||
Empenha-te de tal modo que Rāghava, de braços poderosos, me resgate desta barreira de tristeza, como um dilúvio de dor que me cerca.
"You should make efforts in such a manner that the mighty-armed Rama will help me in crossing the cean of sorrow.
Dharma is purposeful effort in a righteous mission: Hanumān is urged to act effectively so justice (rescue of the innocent) can be fulfilled.
Sītā requests Hanumān to ensure that Rāma is enabled to rescue her from her overwhelming grief and captivity.
Hanumān’s initiative and strategic competence; Rāma’s protective duty toward the wronged.
