वाली–रामसंवादः
Rama’s Justification to Vali on Rājadharma
त्वं तु धर्ममविज्ञाय केवलं रोषमास्थितः।।प्रदूषयसि मां धर्मे पितृपैतामहे स्थितम्।
tvaṃ tu dharmam avijñāya kevalaṃ roṣam āsthitaḥ | pradūṣayasi māṃ dharme pitṛpaitāmahe sthitam ||
而你不明正法,只依怒火而行,却想玷污我——我安住于父祖相传之法。
'Seized with improper anger, you are reproaching one who is devoted to dharma, without knowing that I follow the code of conduct that has been passed on by my fathers and forefathers.'
Anger distorts moral judgment; dharma should be assessed through knowledge and tradition (ācāra), not through reactive outrage.
Rāma directly attributes Vālī’s accusations to ignorance of dharma and to uncontrolled rage.
Steadfastness in inherited righteous conduct (pitṛ-paitāmaha-dharma) and self-restraint in moral reasoning.
