Thấy mái tóc nàng bị nắm giật, Hánumān—con của thần Gió Māruta—liền chìm trong thảm sầu; nước mắt do bi thương tuôn trào từ đôi mắt Ngài.
Seeing Indrajith holding Sita's head, Maruti's son, was immersed in grief, and shed tears of sorrow from his eyes.
Compassion is not weakness: dharma includes tender empathy for suffering, even in a warrior’s heart, alongside the duty to resist wrongdoing.
Hanumān witnesses the humiliating threat against Sītā and is overwhelmed with grief.
Hanumān’s karuṇā (compassion) and devotion—his emotional response reflects deep moral sensitivity.
