It shows the moral dimension of allegiance: dependence on an adharmic commander (Khara) draws even the strong into conflict against dharma embodied by Rāma.

What is the narrative situation?

Khara-led rākṣasas stationed at Janasthāna assemble with weapons and confront Rāma in battle.

Which character virtue is emphasized?

Rāma’s role as the upholder of order is implicit; the verse contrasts organized adharmic force with dharmic resistance.
