Resolved to bring Rama’s purpose to completion and to win the highest fame, they set their minds firmly on the goal; successful in their undertaking, they stood uplifted by their accomplishments.
Thereafter led by Hanuman, all the vanaras left Mahendra mountain and marched very happily. The vanaras were strong and huge like elephants and resembled mountain Meru. Moreover when they leaped up they seemed to cover the sky (so it was difficult to tell their numbers). Since Hanuman had accomplished the task, the vanaras were praising his strength, his swiftness and courage. They were looking at Hanuman without blinking their eyes, and seemed as though they were carrying him by their eyes. They were determined in their minds to please Rama. Remaining in a state of offering themselves, some of them more accomplished than others, collected together eager to wage war and talking pleasantly among themselves having resolved to assist Rama.
Dharma here is purposeful service: aligning one’s resolve and effort to complete a righteous mission for a just leader (Rāma), rather than acting for mere pleasure or impulse.
After Hanumān’s success in Laṅkā, the returning vānara troop becomes mentally fixed on completing Rāma’s larger objective—preparing to report, assist, and move the mission toward its final fulfilment.
Saṅkalpa (steadfast resolve) joined with sevā-bhāva (devoted service): they concentrate their minds, value completion of duty, and seek honour through righteous accomplishment.
