लाङ्गूलदाह-पर्यटनम्
The Burning Tail and the Parade through Laṅkā
यस्त्वया कृतसंवाद स्सीते ताम्रमुखः कपिः।।5.53.25।।लाङ्गूलेन प्रदीप्तेन स एष परिणीयते।
yas tvayā kṛta-saṃvādaḥ sīte tāmra-mukhaḥ kapiḥ | lāṅgūlena pradīptena sa eṣa pariṇīyate ||5.53.25||
“悉多啊,那与汝交谈的铜色面猴,如今正被牵着游行,尾巴已被点燃。”
"O Sita! the red-faced monkey who conversed with you is being paraded in the streets with his tail set on fire".
The verse sets up a dharmic response: hearing of another’s suffering, the righteous heart (Sītā) responds with protective prayer rather than despair or hatred.
Sītā is informed that Hanumān, who had met her, is being paraded through Laṅkā with his tail burning.
Sītā’s gratitude and concern for a benefactor—she immediately turns toward protecting Hanumān.
