The verse reinforces the Ramayana idea that dharma is cosmic order (ṛta-like): when the pivotal struggle reaches a climax, nature mirrors the moral tension, urging humans to align with truth (satya) and right order.

Omens and cosmic disruptions accompany the ferocity of the battle—earthquake-like trembling, dimmed sunlight, and still wind.

Moral seriousness: the narrative invites reflection that choices in a dharmic crisis are not trivial—they reverberate through the world.
