The following extracted para is from Sri. Sadagopan's aricle on Sri
Raghuveera Gadhyam (digest 18), part 5.
"Like all mortals, he had the three debts to discharge. Emperor
Dasaratha liquidated two of the three debts (viz), debt to Munis
through Veda Adhyayanam and debt to the Devas through performance of
Yajnaas. One debt however stood out without being liquidated (viz),
debt to the Pitrus. When our Lord incarnated as the son of Dasaratha,
the last debt was destroyed. Hence, our Lord Ramachandra is saluted
here as "Dasaratha Charama Runa Vimochana"
May I request Dr. Sadagopan to elaborate on the three debts as it
relates to mortals and in what context/relation is the debt to Pithrus
apllied to Dasaratha and Sri Rama?
