Shloka 6.66.8

कुम्भकर्णप्रस्थानम् तथा अङ्गदप्रेरणा (Kumbhakarna’s sortie and Angada’s rallying of the Vanaras)

कृच्छ्रेणतुसमाश्वस्यसङ्गम्य च ततस्ततः ।वृक्षाद्रिहस्ताहरयस्सम्प्रतस्थूरणाजिरम् ।।।।

kṛcchreṇa tu samāśvasya saṅgamya ca tatas tataḥ | vṛkṣādrihastā harayaḥ sampratasthū raṇājiram ||

With effort they regained their composure and gathered again from various places; with trees and rocks in their hands, the Vānara warriors set out for the battlefield.

Overcoming fear, the Vanaras getting together from here and there holding trees by hand, proceeded to the battlefield.

V
Vānara army
B
battlefield (raṇājira)

Resilience in dharma: after fear and confusion, one should recover composure and rejoin rightful collective effort.

The scattered Vānaras regroup, arm themselves with natural weapons, and move back to the fight.

Perseverance—overcoming panic and returning to duty.
