tatas te vānarāḥ sarve rākṣasair arditā bhṛśam |
diśo daśa drutāḥ kecit kecit sugrīvam āśritāḥ ||6.98.10||
ನಂತರ ರಾಕ್ಷಸರಿಂದ ಬಹಳವಾಗಿ ಪೀಡಿತರಾದ ಆ ವಾನರರೆಲ್ಲರು ದಶ ದಿಕ್ಕುಗಳಿಗೆ ಚದುರಿ ಓಡಿದರು; ಕೆಲವರು ಮಾತ್ರ ಸುಗ್ರೀವನ ಆಶ್ರಯವನ್ನು ಪಡೆದರು.
Thereafter, unable to bear the pain, those Vanaras hit by Rakshasas, went in ten directions and some went to Sugriva for refuge.
Dharma includes seeking rightful protection under a legitimate leader when overwhelmed, rather than collapsing into disorder.
The vānaras are pressed hard by rākṣasas; many flee, while some regroup under Sugrīva.
Loyalty and disciplined dependence on leadership—turning to Sugrīva for refuge and reorganization.
