FAQs

Dharma is truthful clarity about life’s impermanence: the sage aligns speech and action with satya, choosing timely renunciation rather than attachment.

After outlining the larger mission, the sage expresses a final wish to see Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa but declares he will not prolong life and will soon abandon the body.

Vairāgya (detachment) grounded in wisdom: a realized seer meets death without fear, holding to truth.
