Dharma is shown as orderly conduct in service: even in urgency, the troops establish a proper camp—signifying discipline, coordination, and readiness for righteous action.

After arriving at the seashore, the vānaras consolidate their position at the northern edge of the southern sea.

Organized strength—strategic patience and preparedness rather than reckless haste.
