FAQs

Dharma permits prosperity and enjoyment when grounded in righteous conduct; a complete life integrates duty (yajña), legitimate pleasure (bhoga), and a worthy end.

Bharata continues consoling by portraying Daśaratha’s life as fulfilled—religious duty performed, worldly aims met, and a good posthumous destination.

Sober perspective on life’s aims (puruṣārthas): Bharata frames loss through a dharmic evaluation of a completed kingship.
