Kuntī’s Regulated Hospitality to a Brāhmaṇa Guest
ततस्तान् सहसा दीर्णान् दृष्टवा वानरपुड्भवान् | निर्ययौ कपिशार्दूलो हनूमान् मारुतात्मज:,उन भयभीत प्रमुख वानरोंको सहसा पलायन करते देख कपिकेसरी मारुतनन्दन हनुमानजी धूम्राक्षका सामना करनेके लिये आगे बढ़े
tatas tān sahasā dīrṇān dṛṣṭvā vānarapuṅgavān | niryayau kapiśārdūlo hanūmān mārutātmajaḥ ||
Wika ni Mārkaṇḍeya: “Pagkaraan, nang makita niyang ang mga pangunahing vanara ay biglang nagkawatak-watak at tumatakas nang magulo, si Hanūmān—ang tigre sa mga unggoy, anak ng Diyos ng Hangin—ay lumabas upang harapin si Dhūmrākṣa.”

The verse underscores dharmic leadership: when fear spreads and a group falters, a virtuous and capable leader advances to protect others, restoring courage and upholding the righteous mission.
Mārkaṇḍeya narrates that the monkey leaders are suddenly scattered and fleeing; seeing this, Hanūmān, son of the Wind-god, steps forward to face the opponent Dhūmrākṣa.
