उपदेशः — Hanuman’s Counsel to Angada on Succession and Strategy
यां चेमां मन्यसे धात्रीमेतद्बिलमिति श्रुतम्।एतल्लक्ष्मणबाणानामीषत्कार्यं विदारणे।।।।
yāṃ cemāṃ manyase dhātrīm etad bilam iti śrutam |
etal lakṣmaṇa-bāṇānām īṣat kāryaṃ vidāraṇe || 4.54.13 ||
Còn chỗ đất nứt mở này mà ngươi tưởng là ‘hang’—nghe nói vậy—thì đối với những mũi tên của Lakṣmaṇa, việc xé toạc nó chỉ là chuyện nhỏ.
'You may think it safe to stay here in this opening of the earth. It is a petty task for the arrows of Lakshmana to break open this so-called cave.
Dharma requires clear-eyed truth (satya) about one’s situation: false security and self-deception lead to adharma through irresponsible decisions.
The counsellor undermines the plan of hiding in a ‘cave’ by stressing that Lakṣmaṇa can easily breach it.
Truthful realism—dispelling complacency so that duty can be pursued without illusion.
