Hanuman saw some maidens lying on separate excellent beds, women richly endowed with beauty-sleeping.
Dharma as careful inquiry: Hanuman proceeds methodically and respectfully, committed to truth (satya) in identification rather than assumption.
Hanuman continues his step-by-step inspection of the women in the palace to determine whether Sita is among them.
Attentiveness and discernment (viveka) in service of a righteous mission.
