FAQs

Dharma as protective service: aiding a righteous person’s tapas (disciplined duty) by removing obstacles is framed as a legitimate form of support.

Sumantra offers practical protection for Rāma’s forest life, promising to ward off creatures that might disturb his ascetic discipline.

Active devotion—service expressed not only in emotion but in readiness to safeguard and assist.
