Dasharatha

दशरथ
Sanskrit

King of Ayodhya, father of Rama.

Figure

Meaning

Dasharatha is the king of Ayodhya and father of Rama. Bound by a promise made to his queen Kaikeyi, he sends Rama into forest exile and dies of grief — so lines about 'the king's word' being kept are usually about him, and 'becoming the son of Dasharatha' identifies Rama at birth.

Also written: dasaratha, dasharathan, dasarathan, dasharatha
