Hanuman Beholds Ravana in Court
ततस्स कर्मणा तस्य विस्मितो भीमविक्रमः।हनुमान्रोषताम्राक्षो रक्षोधिपमवैक्षत।।5.49.1।।
tatassa karmaṇā tasya vismito bhīmavikramaḥ | hanumān roṣatāmrākṣo rakṣodhipam avaikṣata ||5.49.1||
Então Hanumān, de proeza terrível, maravilhado com tal tratamento, fitou o senhor dos Rākṣasas, com os olhos avermelhados de ira.
The highly courageous Hanuman, astonished at the action (of binding and dragging him to the court) by the demon king looked at him with eyes turned red in anger.
The verse highlights the breach of proper conduct toward a messenger; even in conflict, dharma restrains cruelty and demands measured treatment of envoys.
Hanuman, having been seized and brought toward the royal presence, reacts inwardly—astonished and angered—before looking directly at the demon-king.
Hanuman’s fearless composure and moral clarity: he does not collapse under intimidation, but assesses the king directly.
