FAQs
Dharma is linked to choosing the proper means: Sītā suggests that the righteous and effective resolution requires Rāma’s rightful agency, not a partial remedy that may fail.

Sītā’s steadfast judgment—she balances hope with realism and insists on a solution aligned with rightful responsibility.
