तृतीयः सर्गः (Bālakāṇḍa 3): Vālmīki’s Yogic Verification and the Epic Synopsis
विघातं चाभिषेकस्य राघवस्य विवासनम् ।राज्ञश्शोकविलापं च परलोकस्य चाश्रयम् ।।।।
vighātaṃ cābhiṣekasya rāghavasya vivāsanam |
rājñaḥ śokavilāpaṃ ca paralokasya cāśrayam ||
Isinalaysay niya ang paghadlang sa pagpapahid at pagluklok kay Rāma, ang pagpapatapon kay Rāghava sa gubat, ang panaghoy ng hari sa matinding dalamhati, at ang pagpanaw niya tungo sa kabilang daigdig.
(He described) the obstacles to the coronation of Rama, his departure to the forest, the wailing and death of king Dasaratha with sorrow.
Dharma is the acceptance of painful duty: the rightful one endures exile rather than break truth and royal promise, even when it causes immense personal loss.
The coronation is thwarted; Rāma is exiled; Daśaratha collapses in grief and dies, marking the transition into the forest narrative.
Rāma’s steadfastness to satya and duty, and Daśaratha’s tragic suffering tied to the binding force of vows and obligations.
