षट्पञ्चाशः सर्गः — वैदेही-आश्वासनम् तथा अरिष्टारोहणम्
Consoling Sita and Ascending Mount Arishta
स च भूमिधरः श्रीमान्बलिना तेन पीडितः।।।।सवृक्षशिखरोदग्रः प्रविवेश रसातलम्।
sa ca bhūmidharaḥ śrīmān balinā tena pīḍitaḥ | savṛkṣaśikharodagraḥ praviveśa rasātalam ||
स च भूमिधरः श्रीमान् बलिना तेन पीडितः। सवृक्षशिखरोदग्रः प्रविवेश रसातलम्॥
Hearing her meaningful reply which was well-disposed and reasonable, Hanumanreplied:
Dharma as the triumph of a divinely sanctioned mission: obstacles—even cosmic ones—yield when a servant of righteousness acts with sanctioned power and purpose.
Hanumān’s pressure causes the mountain itself, with trees and peaks, to sink into the underworld.
Might yoked to purpose: Hanumān’s strength serves the larger ethical narrative of restoring Sītā and defeating adharma.
