FAQs

True victory is moral: enduring exile in fidelity to truth and duty is portrayed as greater than worldly conquest.

Sumantra consoles and praises Rama, framing forest-dwelling with Sita and Lakshmana as a triumphant dharmic path.

Rama’s heroic steadfastness (vīrya + dharma-niṣṭhā): he ‘wins’ by self-control and righteousness rather than force.
