FAQs

Satya as dharma: a promise made to one’s father (and king) must be upheld; truthfulness is treated as non-negotiable moral order.

Rāma affirms that he will not violate the commitment connected to Daśaratha, even amid emotional and political pressure.

Truth-steadfastness (satya-niṣṭhā) and filial loyalty—integrity that refuses convenient reversal.
