Lord Rama is referred as Maryada Purushottama, literally the Perfect Man or Lord of Self-Control or Lord of Virtue. He suffered no less, and lived an ascetic life thereafter. Rama's life and journey is one of perfect adherence to dharma despite harsh tests of life and time. He is pictured as the ideal man and the perfect human. Lord Rama stuck to Dharma in daily practice, even from His infancy. He is the personification of Dharma. There is no trace of Adharma, Vice, in him. His divine nature is revealed in Shaantha guna , calm temperament, and Karunaa rasa, feeling of love and affection.
When you meditate on Him and you are filled with love for all beings. Dwell on His story and you find all the agitations of your minds quietening in perfect calm. When Thaataki, the female demon, had to be killed, He argued, hesitated and desisted, until Sage Vishwaamithra convinced Him that she had to be liberated from a curse by His own arrow. That is a sign of His love and affection. Rama never provoked another in order to create a convenient excuse to destroy him. On the other hand, He gave the adversary every chance to be saved. He carried the message of Dharma to the Vaanars and the Raakshasas, as well as to sages like Jaabaali. He accepted the homage of Vibheeshana without demur and He announced that He was prepared to accept even Ravana, if only he repented his iniquity. "Sathyam vadha" (speak the truth), Rama stuck to truth, in spite of all temptations. "Dharmam chara" (practise virtue), He never deviated from the path. He did not waver or overstep. That was the strictness with which He kept the vow.! ✨🏹🕉👁📿🌀🏹🎨✨
