FAQs

What is the core ethical principle (Dharma) in this verse?

Victory is framed as fulfillment of righteous purpose, not personal ambition: fame is secondary to restoring moral order and protecting the world from adharma.

What is the narrative situation?

Rāma gives Hanumān a concise, formal message to Bharata summarizing the outcome of the Laṅkā campaign and the return journey.

Which character virtue is emphasized?

Goal-oriented righteousness: Rāma is “samṛddhārthaḥ”—one who completes the dharmic task entrusted to him.
