What is Perfect!
Read Bhagavad Gita verses 3 and 4
ye tvakṣharam anirdeśhyam avyaktaṁ paryupāsate sarvatra-gam achintyañcha kūṭa-stham achalandhruvam sanniyamyendriya-grāmaṁ sarvatra sama-buddhayaḥ te prāpnuvanti mām eva sarva-bhūta-hite ratāḥ |
Raya wanted to fight Namaari because she blamed her for Sisu's death. In reality she needed hope—that she handn't lost Sisu and that the world could still be saved. She felt guilt too because she didn't trust Sisu to handle Namaari, which contributed to her accidental injury. Since she didn't recognize her needs, she took her pent up emotion out on Namaari. Raya didn't have social or emotional security here; she lost another person she cared about (Sisu) and this hurt her too much. Because of all of this, she forgot about her dharma, especially Kshama (forgiveness) and AkrodaH (anger), but also Asteyam (non-stealing) since she was trying to hurt Namaari, and DhiH (intelligence to actions) because she needed to help save the rest of the people on the land—not fight.
Use Kama, Artha, and Dharma to explain why Raya fought Namaari in the clip. What was the want/need confusion? What security did Raya lose? What dharma was lost?

2 dharmic values Sage Valmiki learnt from Sage Narada when he was a robber

Raya has lost a lot at this point and she fights Namaari. But when she sees her friends trying to keep the town safe, she remembers her dharma. Surrounding ourselves with loved ones who follow dharma like we do helps us do the same.

In context of artha and dharma, it's saying that it's hard to follow dharma when you don't have artha, but if you don't have dharma, you'll always live in fear of losing artha.
What does the movie teach us about the relationship between artha and dharma?
