انگد کے کلمات سے اُن کی بہادری پھر بیدار ہوئی اور اُن کا عزمِ جنگ تازہ ہوا۔ وानروں کے سردار خوشی کے ساتھ لوٹے، موت تک کا پکا ارادہ کیے؛ جان کی بازی لگا کر انہوں نے نہایت ہنگامہ خیز جنگ چھیڑ دی، گویا زندگی کو ترک کر چکے ہوں۔
The Vanara leaders, having been reminded of their valour in battle by Angada gladly returned with a resolve to stake their life and carried on the battle.
FAQs
Dharma is moral leadership through truthful exhortation: Aṅgada restores courage and commitment to the righteous cause, showing that speech aligned with Satya can strengthen collective duty.
After wavering, the Vānara chiefs are rallied by Aṅgada; they re-enter the fight with renewed resolve, even at the cost of life.
Aṅgada’s virtue is inspiring leadership (utsāha-pradāna) grounded in steadfast commitment to the righteous mission; the Vānaras exhibit tyāga (self-sacrifice) and dhairya (fortitude).
