abhyapadyanta saṅhṛṣṭās tejovanto mahābalāḥ ||
وہ بہترین بندر، جو عظیم قوت اور تابندگی والے تھے، اگرچہ دل میں اندیشہ پیدا ہو گیا تھا، پھر بھی جوش و عزم کے ساتھ خوش دلی سے اس غار کی طرف بڑھ گئے۔
The brilliant host of monkeys experienced both fear and joy to see the cave difficult to enter.
Dharma is courageous commitment to a righteous task: fear is acknowledged, yet duty compels forward movement in service of truth and justice.
Despite doubts about the cave’s danger, the monkey leaders decide to proceed toward it as part of the search.
Courage with self-control—acting despite apprehension, not denying it.
