Dharma includes responsible communication: informing the rightful leader enables timely protection and just action, preventing chaos in crisis.

Angada is badly hurt and collapsing; the vanara chiefs go to Rama and report Angada’s condition.

Collective responsibility and loyalty: the vanaras do not abandon Angada but seek Rama’s direction for his protection.
