मधुवनभङ्गः
The Disruption of Madhuvana and Dadhimukha’s Complaint
ते स्वामिवचनं वीरा हृदयेष्ववसज्य तत्।त्वरया ह्यभ्यधावन्त सालतालशिलायुधाः।।5.62.23।।
te svāmivacanaṃ vīrā hṛdayeṣv avasajya tat |
tvarayā hy abhyadhāvanta sāla-tāla-śilāyudhāḥ ||5.62.23||
Ang matatapang na iyon, itinanim sa kanilang mga puso ang utos ng kanilang pinuno; kaya’t nagmadali silang sumugod, may sandatang mga punòng sāla at tāla at mga bato.
The heroic vanaras held Sala and Tala trees and rushed at once keeping their leader's words in mind.
Dharma here is disciplined obedience to rightful leadership: the vanaras act decisively while keeping the leader’s instruction foremost in mind.
A confrontation escalates: the vanaras, stirred by orders, rush into action using available natural weapons (trees and stones).
Loyalty and readiness to act—courage guided by adherence to command rather than personal impulse.
