FAQs

Dharma can require renunciation: though fit to rule, Rāma accepts forest-life, showing integrity beyond status and comfort.

Lakṣmaṇa clarifies that Rāma—royal and supremely virtuous—has nevertheless come to the forest due to separation from the kingdom.

Rāma’s steadfastness and dignity: royal excellence remains intact even in hardship.
