Dharma here is seen as selfless, righteous action: Hanumān’s splendour symbolizes purity of purpose while serving Rāma’s mission without personal motive.
As Hanumān flies toward Laṅkā, blossoms cling to him, and the poet describes his radiant appearance in the sky.
Vīrya joined with devotion—power expressed in disciplined service (sevā) to a righteous cause.
