About the Ramayana :- The Ayodhya Kanda is the most emotionally powerful section of the Ramayana. As King Dasharatha prepares to crown Rama as heir, Queen Kaikeyi — influenced by her maid Manthara — invokes two ancient boons, demanding that Rama be exiled for 14 years and her own son Bharata be crowned instead. Rama accepts exile without a moment of hesitation, demonstrating perfect obedience and dharma. Sita and Lakshmana insist on accompanying him. The citizens of Ayodhya weep as the three depart for the forest. King Dasharatha dies of grief. When Bharata learns of these events, he rushes to the forest and begs Rama to return, but Rama refuses to break his father's word. Bharata takes Rama's sandals and places them on the throne, ruling as regent. This kanda teaches the supreme value of keeping one's word and the power of sacrifice.

निशा निवासाय नर अधिप आत्मजः || २-९०-२४
