Ang mga pinakamahusay sa mga marunong umungal ay sumulong na may kulog na sigaw—ginugulat ang mga ibon, tinatakot ang mga usa at mga elepante, at pinanginginig maging ang Laṅkā.
Other monkeys capable of roaring went into Lanka, spreading out terrifying the birds, dispiriting the deer and elephants by noise.
Dharma in warfare includes legitimate exertion of force to end adharma; the roar symbolizes righteous intimidation directed toward a tyrannical stronghold, not random cruelty.
The Vānara warriors enter Laṅkā’s vicinity loudly, creating fear among animals and signaling the army’s overwhelming presence.
Fearlessness and martial confidence—projecting strength to support the just objective of the campaign.
