FAQs

Dharma as protection: a king/father is expected to safeguard dependents; Bharata grieves that Kausalyā is left vulnerable while Rāma is exiled.

Bharata addresses his deceased father, lamenting Kausalyā’s abandonment and Rāma’s exile.

Compassion and familial responsibility—Bharata’s concern centers on Kausalyā’s welfare, not his own gain.
