जम्बुमालिवधः
The Slaying of Jambumali
विपन्नं कर्म तद्दृष्ट्वा हनुमांश्चण्डविक्रमः।सालं विपुलमुत्पाट्य भ्रामयामास वीर्यवान्।।।।
vipannaṁ karma tad dṛṣṭvā hanumāṁś caṇḍavikramaḥ |
sālaṁ vipulam utpāṭya bhrāmayāmāsa vīryavān ||
Nang makitang nabigo ang kanyang pagtatangka, si Hanuman—na mabagsik ang tapang—ay bumunot ng isang malaking puno ng Sala at sinimulan itong paikutin nang may lakas ng mandirigma.
Hanuman, a strong, powerful and fierce warrior pulled out a sala tree and whirled it. Seeing that his attempt has failed.
Dharma teaches adaptive effort (upāya): when one means fails, one chooses another without losing commitment to the righteous objective.
After the boulder attack is neutralized, Hanumān switches tactics and uproots a śāla tree to use as a weapon.
Resourcefulness joined with strength—problem-solving under pressure.
