A ruler/warrior’s dharma includes charity, care for dependents, loyalty to friends, and firm opposition to enemies—each in its proper measure.
Vibhīṣaṇa enumerates the fallen warrior’s kingly qualities to justify performing proper post-death rites.
Rāja-dharma: generosity, responsibility for dependents, and decisive protection of one’s side.
