दशरथदर्शनम् — Dasharatha’s Epiphany and Benedictions
Sarga 122
एतत्तदुक्तमव्यक्तमक्षरंब्रह्मनिर्मितम् ।देवानांहृदयंसौम्य गुह्यंरामःपरन्तप ।।।।
etat tad uktam avyaktam akṣaraṃ brahma-nirmitam | devānāṃ hṛdayaṃ saumya guhyaṃ rāmaḥ parantapa ||
Ito nga ang ipinahayag na katotohanan: si Rāma—O mahinahon, O tagapagpahirap sa kaaway—ang di-nahahalatang diwa, ang di-nasisirang walang-hanggan, nilikha ni Brahmā; siya ang lihim, ang mismong puso ng mga diyos.
"O Gentle! Rama, the tormentor of enemies is the unmanifest and imperishable secret, is Brahma alone. This is created by Brahma. It is the secret in the heart of gods."
Dharma is anchored in ultimate truth (satya): the righteous order is sustained by a transcendent principle, here identified with Rāma as the gods’ inner secret/essence.
Daśaratha explains (in elevated theological language) Rāma’s cosmic nature, framing him as unmanifest and imperishable, central to the gods themselves.
Spiritual insight and reverence—recognizing Rāma not only as king/hero but as the deepest truth behind dharma.
