as faulty ones - killing ThAtaka (a woman), keeping unknowingly a 
step back during kara-Dhooshana yuddha (not in accordance with 
kshatriya dharmA) and seetha's agni pravesam. If this is the case 
for the Almighty's incarnation as human, what will be the effect of 
faults of mere mortals like us?"

Dear Sri Raghava dasan,
One might venture to add that perhaps Swami Desikan forgot to mention 
the controversial incident of Rama slaying Vali under cover!

Our faults -- the faults of mere mortals -- are countless indeed but 
the world will not remember us for our faults. Shakespeare 
wrote, "The good that men do lives after them; the evil is interred 
in their bones".

Regards,
dAsan,
Sudarshan
