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?
