narāntakaḥ kumbhahanuḥ mahānādaḥ samunnataḥ | ete prahastasacivāḥ sarve jaghnur vanaukasaḥ ||

It highlights the power of allegiance and organized command—yet the Ramayana’s ethical lens asks whether such loyalty serves satya and dharma or supports adharma.

Martial capability and disciplined followership (loyalty to a commander), though morally evaluated by the cause it supports.
