Rama's Last Act by Bhavabhuti
An elegiac drama that follows the hero’s later life as he is torn between public duty and private devotion: when rumors about his wife's chastity force him to send her into exile she finds refuge with the sage Valmiki and bears twin sons who, grown, unknowingly reenact and recite their father’s story in his court. The resulting recognition, moral anguish and tragic resolution probe the burdens of kingship, the cost of rigid dharma, and the human sorrow beneath lofty ideals.
