Commentary

Narada begins his reply by identifying Rama тАФ the king of the earth and foremost among the upholders of dharma тАФ as the answer to Valmiki's question. This is the first mention of Rama's name in the epic, and it is immediately associated with dharma. The verse establishes Rama's identity as both a temporal ruler and a spiritual ideal.
