By the sound of whose tail the ten directions resound—this is the one who has been consecrated by Sugrīva, king of the Vānaras.
"The valiant one who has lifted his arms up and stands on the earth enraged facing Lanka, a highly excited one who is tall and expanded like a mountain peak in form and colour of lotus filament who is hitting his tail again and again on the earth and making noise with his tail, which is resounding in ten directions is Vanara leader by name Angada who has been crowned by Sugriva. This crowned prince is challenging to have war with you."
Legitimate authority and duty-bound leadership: Angada’s public consecration by Sugrīva frames his actions as sanctioned service to a righteous alliance, not private violence.
A report identifies the formidable warrior at the front: his intimidating signal (tail-sound) and his political legitimacy as Sugrīva’s consecrated prince/leader.
Ājñā-pālana (obedience to rightful command) joined with vīrya (valor): Angada’s might is presented as operating under rightful kingship and alliance-dharma.
