Did you know that Ram once spared Tataka, showing compassion even in battle… but later vowed to end Mareecha and Subahu without hesitation?
In this episode of Tales of Itihasa, we witness the young princes of Ayodhya guard Vishwamitra’s sacred ritual at Siddha Ashram. What begins as a test of vigilance soon becomes a revelation: sometimes mercy enables greater cruelty, and justice demands a harsher path.

Through firelit nights, whispered vows, and the wisdom of sages, Ram learns to see the difference between pain-driven violence and deliberate evil. His choice marks the turning point of his transformation—from a compassionate prince to a protector who understands that some evils must be ended, not endured.

Join us as we explore not just the battle, but the deeper question: When does mercy become complicity?

Tales of Itihasa invites you into a moment of myth reimagined — where every step forward is a step deeper into the soul.
