Why Shri Rama is Maryada

Rama called Maryada Purushottam. why? Ramayana is invested with many episodes.

Each contributed to the smooth run of the plot of the text. Birds and animals are also major characters in this epic.

Nature, in general, supported the cause and purpose of Rama, the chief character about whom the whole story is narrated. Sage Valmiki wrote this kavya with some sorrows because of his witness of male bird's death. so, the full Ramayana was covered more sorrows and less happiness. Birth of Rama, Rama was taken by Vishwamitra, swayamvara, coronation stopped and banishment, lose of sita, war, difficulties in crossing the ocean, vali vadham, then washerman report, sita sent to forest, fight with own sons etc.,this goes more. In this juncture, sage valmiki took the Episode carefully. Returning back to Ayodhya after killing Ravana, Ram was coroneted as king of Ayodhya.

They had an efficient system of obtaining feedback from the public on the basis of which laws were made for the welfare of the public. Some of these feedbacks were very disturbing. They were all about Sita and how she could not be accepted back as queen after staying with Ravan. Initially these feedbacks were ignored. Slowly these feedbacks started increasing and dissatisfaction became much more apparent.

But Ram is not called Maryada Purushottam just as a mark of respect. He always respected the existing tradition (Maryada) of that time.

Shri Rama respected the citizens. He respected the people's talks. He declared that Sita had to pass the Agni Pariksha test so that he could accept her back. Laxman strongly opposed this. Yet the victorious army chief insisted that Agni Pariksha was the only thing which could make him accept her. Sita agreed and after the satisfactory completion of the ritual ‘Agni Pariksha’, Shri Ram gladly accepted her back as his wife.

Ram did it not because he personally doubted Sita but because of the demands of his dharma as a king; he knew she was innocent but he had to show his praja (subject) that unlike his father, he was not a slave to a woman, that as a just raja he was willing to make any amount of personal sacrifices for them. It was an act of sacrifice for him as well. He suffered no less, and lived an ascetic life thereafter.

Lord Rama: An ideal son to the parents. An ideal husband to His wife. A Good brother to his young brothers. A Good and Ideal king to the people of His kingdom. A good and ideal protector of Dharma. A Good and Ideal ruler. A good and ideal friend to vanaras. An Ideal son in obeying the parents. An example for morality. So, Shri Rama is called Maryada purushottam Ram. What about Krishna? Krishna established dharma. He showed miracles in his life. His life was happy. He behaved many times cunningly though it was for good. He got rivalary from many circles. Krishna Avatar is entirely different from Rama Avatar. Rama from the beginning to end behaved like a human whereas Krishna several times showed he is an avatar of mahavishnu like showing Vishwarupa Darshan etc., Maryada generally relates to humans and not Gods. The God is away from human natures. Because Rama behaved like a human and never showed his avatar rahashya, he was treated fully as a respectful human and hence Rama was called Maryada Purushottam. @Edit: Thank you ji for your kind remarks. My namskaram to you. @Edit: why Rama killed Bali(Vali)? Rama and sugreeva entered into an understanding to help each other in their misery and Rama had to fulfil his promise of killing vali. Besides, there is also more reasons. Raj dharma, and Raj neeti not protected by Vaali. how? as a king, he failed to protect dharma. vali not learnt lesson from a bird which fought with ravana when ravana took sita. When ravana passes through his kingdom, it is the duty of vali to fight with ravana and save dharma. He knew that sita has been abducted. He knew the one who abducted sita was once defeated. vali could have over powered him easily if he made an attempt. sita was carried across his kingdom.sugreeva had seen the abduction. so did vali. but vali could have stopped it, because he was capable and in capacity as a king of that territory/land/area/kingdom.vali failed to stop the crimes in his lands.vali failed to punish the offenders. Killing Ravana was to protect Dharma. All of a sudden Rama did not kill Ravana. He sent Hanuman. He gave one day time during the war. He gave many opportunities. Sita tells dharma. Ravana brother Vibhishana give suggestions. pl read my answer in this question under source where i gave answer why Rama sent sita to jungles. If you come with a question, i can give elaborate answer. Due to space problems i conclude my answer please. Thanks for the opportunity!!!
