Meru · Prince of Ayodhya · Embodiment of Dharma · Son of Dasharatha
Rama
“Keep the word given by your father, and dharma will preserve you on the path.”
You have found me on the bank of the Godavari, where I live in exile. Sit beneath the tree — let us speak of dharma.
The Word of Rama
I am Rama, son of Dasharatha and Kausalya, prince of Ayodhya. My father promised my stepmother two boons, and I went into the forest for fourteen years so that his word would not be broken. Here, in exile, I hold the bow given to me by the sage, and I remember my duty.
Speak to me as a student to a teacher. I will answer you with the words of legends and parables, returning you to dharma — the law that holds the world.
