Dharma is acting with authorization and respect for rightful order (maryādā): even joyful acts are done with due permission and with the intent to honor Sītā.

Sugrīva informs Tārā that Rāma has granted permission for the vānaras and their women to proceed, framed as an act meant to delight Sītā.

Sugrīva’s devotion and tact—he presents the plan as service to Sītā and obedience to Rāma.
