सूर्य–कर्णोपदेशः
Sūrya’s Counsel to Karṇa on Kīrti and the Kuṇḍala
एते चान्ये च बहवो हरियूथपयूथपा: । असंख्येया महाराज समीयू रामकारणात्,महाराज! ये तथा और भी बहुत-से वानर-यूथपतियोंके भी यूथपति, जिनकी कोई संख्या नहीं थी, श्रीरामचन्द्रजीके कार्यसे वहाँ एकत्र हुए
ete cānye ca bahavo hariyūthapayūthapāḥ | asaṅkhyeyā mahārāja samīyū rāmakāraṇāt ||
O dakilang hari! Sila at marami pang iba—mga pinuno ng pangkat ng mga unggoy, maging mga pinunong nakahihigit sa mga pinuno—na di-mabilang ang dami, ay nagtipon doon alang-alang sa gawain ni Rama.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights collective responsibility and willing service to a righteous undertaking: capable leaders and vast communities unite when the cause is dharmic and the purpose is clear, here expressed as gathering ‘for Rama’s mission’.
Mārkaṇḍeya describes the mobilization of the vanara forces: innumerable monkey chiefs and commanders assemble, indicating the scale of support that forms around Rama’s enterprise.
