svānuliptaṃ vicitrābhir vividhābhiś ca bhaktibhiḥ ||5.49.4||
他身披上等细绢,涂抹红檀香膏,又以芬芳膏油在身上描绘出多种繁丽纹饰。
Many such thoughts crossed Hanuman's intelligent mind on seeing Ravana's brilliance and power.ityārṣē śrīmadrāmāyaṇē vālmīkīya ādikāvyē sundarakāṇḍē ēkōnapañcāśassargaḥ৷৷Thus ends the fortyninth sarga of Sundarakanda of the holy Ramayana, the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
Dharma prioritizes inner purity (śīla) over external adornment; ethical life is not achieved through cosmetics or luxury.
The narration continues to portray Rāvaṇa’s opulence as seen by Hanumān within Laṅkā.
Hanumān’s clarity of judgment—he can register splendor without confusing it for moral worth.
