Sita’s Token and Resolve
तावुभौ पुरुषव्याघ्रौ राजपुत्रावरिन्दमौ।त्वद्दर्शनकृतोत्साहौ लङ्कां भस्मीकरिष्यतः।।5.40.15।।
tāv ubhau puruṣavyāghrau rājaputrāv arindamau | tvaddarśanakṛtotsāhau laṅkāṃ bhasmīkariṣyataḥ ||
Ang dalawang prinsipe—mga tigre sa mga tao, mga dumudurog sa kaaway—na pinasigla ng pagnanais na makita ka, ay gagawing abo ang Laṅkā.
"Both the princes are tigers among men and crushers of enemies. They are determined to see you, and will reduce Lanka to ashes.
Dharma as protection of the innocent: force is framed as righteous retaliation against adharma, undertaken to restore justice and rescue Sītā.
Hanumān boosts Sītā’s confidence by describing Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa’s martial capability and determination.
Vīrya (valor) and sankalpa (resolve) in the service of righteousness.
