हनूमदुपदेशः रावणस्य च कोपः
Hanuman’s Counsel to Ravana and Ravana’s Wrath
अपकुर्वन् हि रामस्य साक्षादपि पुरन्दरः।।।।न सुखं प्राप्नुयादन्यः किं पुनस्त्वद्विधो जनः।
apakurvan hi rāmasya sākṣād api purandaraḥ; na sukhaṃ prāpnuyād anyaḥ, kiṃ punas tvadvidho janaḥ.
Dẫu là Purandara (Indra), nếu dám trực diện xúc phạm Rāma, cũng chẳng thể được an lạc; huống chi hạng người như ngươi.
"Indra, the destroyer of enemy citadels cannot live happily if he offends Rama. What to speak of persons like you?
Adharma brings inevitable unrest: even the mighty cannot prosper when they violate righteousness by opposing a dharmic person.
Hanuman heightens the warning by stating that offending Rama has consequences so severe that even Indra would not remain happy—thereby urging Ravana to reconsider.
Rama’s moral inviolability: his dharmic standing is portrayed as a force that even gods must respect.
