Educational Q&A

Dharma is upheld through disciplined action supported by righteous alliances: even a great hero relies on worthy companions, and force is ethically framed as a means to remove adharma and protect the innocent.

Mārkaṇḍeya briefly recounts Rāma’s campaign: with Sugrīva’s Vānara forces he builds a bridge over the ocean, reaches Laṅkā, destroys it with sharp arrows, and brings Sītā back.
