समन्तपञ्चक-आख्यानम् तथा अक्षौहिणी-प्रमाणनिर्णयः
Samantapañcaka Narrative and the Measure of an Akṣauhiṇī
कदलीखण्डमध्यस्थं हनूमन्तं महाबलम् । यत्र सौगन्धिकार्थेड्सौ नलिनीं तामधर्षयत्,द्रौपदीने सौगन्धिक कमल लानेके लिये भीमसेनको गन्धमादन पर्वतपर भेजा। यात्रा करते समय महाबाहु भीमसेनने मार्गमें कदलीवनमें महाबली पवननन्दन श्रीहनुमानजीका दर्शन किया। यहीं सौगन्धिक कमलके लिये भीमसेनने सरोवरमें घुसकर उसे मथ डाला
kadalīkhaṇḍamadhyasthaṃ hanūmantaṃ mahābalam | yatra saugandhikārthe saḥ nalinīṃ tām adharṣayat ||
罗摩说道：“在那里，芭蕉林的深处，伟力无双的哈奴曼屹立其间。也正是在那地方，为追寻芬芳的娑犍提迦莲花，他以强势搅动了那片莲池。”此段昭示：欲念——纵然出于侍奉所爱之人的心——亦可能使人逾越分寸；而与更高的楷模（哈奴曼）相逢，便成为纠偏之教，令人体悟克制、谦卑与正行之道。

Educational Q&A
Power must be governed by dharma: even when acting for a loved one’s wish, one should avoid arrogance and harm. Meeting a superior exemplar (Hanūmān) becomes a moral check, redirecting strength toward humility, restraint, and rightful action.
The verse points to the setting where the mighty Hanūmān is encountered in a plantain grove, connected with the quest for saugandhika lotuses and the forceful disturbance of a lotus-pond—an episode that frames a lesson through the meeting of heroes.
