युद्धकाण्डे पञ्चनवतितमः सर्गः (Sarga 95: Lamentation in Laṅkā and the Causal Chain of Enmity)
दैवतैस्तुसमागम्यसर्वैश्चेन्द्रपुरोगमैः ।।।।वृषध्वजस्त्रिपुरहामहादेवःप्रसादितः ।

Then all the gods, with Indra at their head, assembled and propitiated Mahādeva—bull-bannered, the slayer of Tripura.
"Getting together all the Devatas marched towards Indra and propitiated Lord MahaDeva, destroyer of Tripura, who Bears the sign of bull on his abode."
Seeking rightful refuge is dharmic: when oppressed, the Devas unite and approach a higher divine power to restore balance rather than act from chaos.
The Devas collectively approach Śiva (Mahādeva) with Indra leading, requesting divine intervention against the Rākṣasa threat.
Unity and purposeful humility—collective action aligned to dharma rather than individual pride.
