"O Sage, wish you well Who are these two youths who seem to possess the prowess of celestial beings. They walk with the gait of an elephant or a lion. They are courageous like tiger or a bull. Their large eyes are like lotuspetals. They are armed with scimitars, bows and quivers. They are young and handsome like Aswinikumaras dropped from heaven casually. Whose sons are they? How did they come here on foot? With what purpose?
FAQs
Dharma includes the possibility of restoration: after accountability and penance, purification is attainable, and righteousness (embodied by Rāma) becomes the occasion for renewal.
Gautama sets a condition for Ahalyā’s release: Rāma’s future arrival in the forest will mark the moment of her purification.
Rāma’s quality as durdharṣa (unassailable) implies steadfast righteousness and moral authority that uplifts and restores.
