FAQs

Dharma includes emotional mastery: after fulfilling the hard duty of battle, Rāma relinquishes anger and returns to gentleness—power governed by self-control.

With the enemy subdued, Rāma puts down his weapons and divine armor and transitions from battlefield fury to calm dignity.

Self-restraint (dama) and measured conduct (maryādā): the warrior becomes compassionate and composed once duty is complete.
