Sita’s Token and Resolve
हत्त्वा च समरे क्रूरं रावणं सहबान्धवम्।राघवौ त्वां विशालाक्षि स्वां पुरीं प्रापयिष्यतः।।5.40.16।।
hattvā ca samare krūraṃ rāvaṇaṃ sahabāndhavam | rāghavau tvāṃ viśālākṣi svāṃ purīṃ prāpayiṣyataḥ ||
اے وسیع چشم بانو! جب دونوں راغھو میدانِ جنگ میں رشتہ داروں سمیت اس ظالم راون کو قتل کر دیں گے، تو وہ تمہیں تمہاری اپنی نگری تک واپس پہنچا دیں گے۔
"O large-eyed lady! Killing in war the vile Ravana, the demon king and all his relatives, Rama would take you back to his own city৷৷
Restorative justice: the removal of a tyrant (Rāvaṇa) is presented as necessary to re-establish dharma and reunite the rightful family.
Hanumān promises Sītā that Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa will defeat Rāvaṇa and return her safely.
Protective righteousness and steadfast commitment to rescue and reunion.
