निरन्तरशीरीरौतुतावुभौरामलक्ष्मणौ ।क्रुद्धेनेन्द्रजितावीरौपन्नगैश्शरतांगतैः ।।6.45.8।।

harayaś cāpi taṃ dṛṣṭvā santāpaṃ paramaṃ gatāḥ |

śokārtāś cukruśur ghoraṃ aśrupūritalocanāḥ ||6.45.27||

Even the Vānaras, seeing him thus, were seized by extreme anguish; tormented by grief, they cried out terribly, their eyes brimming with tears.

Both Rama and Lakshmana were pierced by furious Indrajith with serpents like arrows furious.

V
Vānara warriors
R
Rāma (implied as the one seen fallen/struck)

Compassionate loyalty as dharma: the allies’ grief shows righteous bonds—standing with the good not only in triumph but also in apparent defeat.

After Rāma is struck down/immobilized by Indrajit’s weapons, the Vānara forces witness his condition and break into cries of despair.

Bhakti-like fidelity and compassion—deep emotional solidarity with a righteous leader.
