Dharma is gratitude and honoring elders/allies appropriately. Rāma responds to goodwill with reverence, showing that righteous leadership includes humility and respectful reciprocity.

After Jaṭāyu offers help and recalls past ties, Rāma honors and embraces him, and listens to repeated accounts of Jaṭāyu’s friendship with Daśaratha.
