Hanuman’s Stealth Entry and Survey of Lanka
सहेमजाम्बूनदचक्रवालं महार्हमुक्तामणिभूषितान्तम्।परार्थ्यकालागुरुचन्दनाक्तं स रावणान्तःपुरमाविवेश।।।।
sa-hema-jāmbūnada-cakravālaṁ mahārha-muktā-maṇi-bhūṣitāntam |
parārthya-kālāguru-candanāktaṁ sa rāvaṇāntaḥpuram āviveśa ||
Pumasok siya sa panloob na palasyo ni Rāvaṇa—napaliligiran ng mga pader na kumikislap sa dalisay na ginto, pinalamutian sa lahat ng dako ng mahahalagang perlas at hiyas, at pinahiran ng pinakamainam na maitim na agaru at ng paste ng sandalwood.
The houses reverberating with sounds of laughter and of musical instruments, decorated with lattice windows of diamonds resembled the sky shining with clouds with a goad made of diamond (thunderbolt of Indra).
Dharma is commitment to a truthful objective despite seductive power: Hanumān proceeds into the heart of Rāvaṇa’s domain, unmoved by luxury, to locate Sītā and uphold Rāma’s righteous cause.
Hanumān enters Rāvaṇa’s inner palace/antaḥpura, described as richly fortified and perfumed.
Self-control and mission-focus: he penetrates the most alluring and dangerous space without losing ethical direction.
