FAQs

Dharma is benevolent governance: power is used not merely to subdue a problem but to confer lasting welfare through a boon that improves the land and its future.

After controlling the dangerous subterranean waters, Rāma grants a boon to the region called Maru; the place is described as famous across the three worlds.

Vidvat (wise discernment) joined with valor: Rāma’s strength is guided by knowledge and a commitment to lasting good.
