Dasharatha accidentally kills a young boy when he was also
young and he has to tell the boys parents. The old man curses a young
Dasharatha and says that he too will have his sons parted from him. Dasharatha
has three wives but none of them produce a son so he decided to perform a
sacrifice to the gods so they will grant him a son. When a celestial being
arose from a fire he told Dasharatha that if his wives ate the payasa they
would have sons. That is when one of his
wives gave birth to Rama who was the kingdom
favorite. Rama is sent to do battle and in the mean time he wins his wife Sita.
Kaikeyi has two wishes from Dasharatha after she saved him on the battle field
and she uses them to make Bharata the new king and send Rama into exile.
Dasharatha tries to convince her otherwise but he has to stay true to his
promise of two wishes. Rama goes into exile with his wife and Dasharatha
remembers the curse and dies on Rama’s 6th day of exile.
