FAQs
The verse implies that true excellence (sādhutā) is real, yet Dharma depends on how power and marvels are used. In the Ramayana frame, wonders like the Pushpaka gain moral meaning only when aligned with satya and righteous purpose.

Jñāna-yukta vigilance: Hanumān’s informed recognition and careful assessment aid his mission and future reporting to Rāma.
