मणिं दत्त्वा ततः सीता हनूमन्तमथाब्रवीत्।अभिज्ञानमभिज्ञातमेतद्रामस्य तत्त्वतः।।।।
maṇiṃ dattvā tataḥ sītā hanūmantam athābravīt |
abhijñānam abhijñātam etad rāmasya tattvataḥ ||5.39.1||
Trao viên bảo châu rồi, nàng Sītā liền nói với Hanumān: “Đây là tín vật nhận biết chân thật, chính Rāma quả thực nhận ra.”
Sita gave the jewel to Hanuman and said, "This signet ornament is known to Rama very well".
Satya supported by pramāṇa (valid proof): Sita ensures that truth is communicated with an unmistakable identifier, preventing doubt and error.
Sita explains the significance of the jewel as a recognition-token that will confirm her message to Rama.
Prudence and truth-protecting clarity in communication.
