FAQs

Dharma here is disciplined right action: seeking guidance, receiving sacred instruction with humility, and using strength for righteous purpose (the defeat of adharma).

On the battlefield before the climactic fight, Agastya approaches Rāma and begins imparting the Āditya-hṛdaya teaching to restore his confidence and ensure victory.

Teachability and reverence for wisdom—Rāma is positioned as the ideal listener who accepts counsel in a critical moment.
