Episode 55 of the conversations between Yogita Pant and Anil Chawla describes the dialogue between Ram and Vaalee. After falling down on the ground, hit by Ram’s arrow, Vaalee confronts Ram, abuses him and scolds him for committing an act against dharm. Vaalee is respectful towards Ram but is extremely harsh in his criticism of Ram who listens patiently. When his turn comes, Ram answers Vaalee in an extremely logical and systematic manner. Ram first questions Vaalee’s competence to raise issues of dharm. Ram then explains his own competence and jurisdiction for punishing wrongdoers. Ram explains the crime that Vaalee had committed – having sexual relations with younger brother’s wife even when the brother is alive. Ram also explains that the crime is unpardonable and must be punished with death. A person who commits this crime is like an animal and must be killed like an animal is hunted down. There can be no notice of war to a hunted animal. When hunting the means and technique used to kill is immaterial. Hence, Ram killed Vaalee without any notice, while hiding behind a tree. Vaalee is convinced of his own crime and seeks apologies from Ram for his harsh words expressed earlier. Vaalee also seeks Ram’s blessings for his wife Tara, their son Angad and his younger brother Sugreev. Ram assures Vaalee of taking care of Tara, Angad and Sugreev. (Ref. Chapters 17 and 18, Kishkindha Kand, Shreemad Valmikiy Ramayan)***** श्रीमद्वाल्मीकीय रामायण विश्व का  प्राचीनतम ग्रन्थ है। इसे आदिग्रन्थ कहा गया है। इसमें राम के जीवन का विस्तारपूर्वक वर्णन किया गया है। इसमें राम का चित्रण एक ऐसे मनुष्य के रूप में किया गया है जो संघर्ष करता है, परिश्रम करता है, जीवन के द्वन्द्वों का सामना करता है, अपने सहयोगियों एवं निकटस्थ व्यक्तियों से चर्चा करता है और विद्वतजनों से मार्गदर्शन प्राप्त करता है। वह धर्म एवं  आदर्श के पथ से कभी हटता नहीं है। उन्हें मर्यादा पुरुषोत्तम कहा गया है। उनके जीवन का हर प्रसंग शिक्षाप्रद है, प्रेरणादायक है। चर्चा की इस श्रृंखला का उद्देश्य दर्शकों को राम के जीवन से परिचित कराना है। राम के जीवन को जान कर, समझ कर और आचरण में उतार कर हम अपने जीवन को सुखद एवं समृद्ध बना सकते हैं। समस्त सुधीजनों को अनेकानेक शुभकामनाओं के साथ विनम्रतापूर्वक समर्पित। Valmiki Ramayan is the original epic which narrates the story of Ram.
