Question 4 of 31 Read the following excerpt from the Ramayana of Valmiki. Which important
principle of Hindu culture is represented in the passage?

O Rama, the king is not angry nor is he suffering physical
pain, he has something on his mind which he fears to
disclose to thee. He loves thee dearly and so hesitates to
tell thee this unpleasant matter. It is for thee to fulfill what
he has promised to me and to act in accordance with it.
Having formerly granted me a boon (promise), he now
repents it like a common man. To promise a boon and then
seek to evade it, is like the setting up of a dam when the
water has gone. O Rama, have a care lest the king abandon
truth for thy sake. Among holy men, truth is said to be the
root of dharma. Should the king command thee and thou
fulfill his command without further deliberation, then will!
reveal the whole truth to thee.!
Hari Prasad Shastri trans. The Ramayana of Valmiki vol 1 London Shant Sadan
1952). 196-201

O A. The forgiving of sins through sacrifice
B. The concept of social stratification
OC. The concept of reincarnation
