रावणान्तःपुर-पानभूमि-विचयः
Hanumān’s Survey of Rāvaṇa’s Inner Palace and Banquet Hall
क्रीडितेनापराः क्लान्ता गीतेन च तथाऽपराः।।5.11.4।।नृत्तेन चापराः क्लान्ताः पानविप्रहतास्तथा।
krīḍitena aparāḥ klāntā gītena ca tathā aparāḥ || 5.11.4 || nṛttena ca aparāḥ klāntāḥ pāna-viprahatās tathā |
有些女子因嬉戏缠绵而疲惫,有些因歌唱而倦,有些因舞蹈而乏,又有些因不断饮酒而困顿。
Some women were fatigued after sporting, similarly some were exhausted after singing. Others were tired through dancing and some were worn out by continuous drinking.
By depicting indulgence and exhaustion, the narrative implicitly contrasts it with the dharmic ideal of self-control—especially as Hanuman remains disciplined amid others’ excess.
Hanuman observes the aftermath of revelry in Ravana’s inner quarters while searching for Sita.
Temperance by contrast: Hanuman’s steadiness stands out against the scene of intoxication and distraction.
