हनूमदुपदेशः रावणस्य च कोपः
Hanuman’s Counsel to Ravana and Ravana’s Wrath
भ्रमता च मया दृष्टा गृहे ते जनकात्मजा।।5.51.16।।तद्भवान् दृष्टधर्मार्थस्तपःकृतपरिग्रहः।परदारान् महाप्राज्ञ नोपरोद्धुं त्वमर्हसि।।5.51.17।।
bhramatā ca mayā dṛṣṭā gṛhe te janakātmajā | tad bhavān dṛṣṭadharmārthas tapaḥkṛtaparigrahaḥ | paradārān mahāprājña noparoddhuṃ tvam arhasi ||
Khi lang thang, ta đã thấy ái nữ của vua Janaka ở trong nhà ngươi. Vì ngài hiểu Dharma và Artha, lại được khổ hạnh làm chỗ nương, ô bậc đại trí, ngài chớ nên giữ hay bắt cóc vợ của người khác.
"While I was roaming I saw Janaka's daughter Sita at your house.You are a knower of the truth of righteousness. You are very wise and carrried out great austerities. It does not behove you to abduct another man's wife.
A ruler’s true dignity is shown by restraint; wisdom and tapas are contradicted by violating another’s marriage.
This verse repeats the prior admonition (a recensional duplication), reinforcing Hanumān’s moral warning to Rāvaṇa.
Persistence in satya-upadeśa—reiterating truth for the listener’s welfare.
