Ravana falls in love with the image of Sita that Soorpanaka creates and goes to his uncle Mareecha for help. She tells him that Sita is exceptionally beautiful and Ravana should take her for himself. Soorpanaka crashes into Ravana's court and tells him what happened. Rama tells Lakshmana that he can kill Soorpanaka if she won't leave. When Rama returns, he tries to explain to Soorpanaka who he is, but it has no effect on her. Lakshmana rescues Sita and chops off Soorpanaka's nose, ears, and breasts. When Rama leaves the dwelling the next day, Soorpanaka stalks Sita and jumps on her. Soorpanaka spends the night in agony and decides the next morning that if she can kill Sita, Rama will love her. She tries to woo Rama and convince him to marry her, but he refuses. Though she uses a fake name, she's Soorpanaka, a demon and Ravana's sister. One day, Rama sees a beautiful woman approaching their dwelling. He promises to protect Rama until he can return from exile. They meet Jatayu, a great eagle who was a friend of Dasaratha's. Rama, Lakshmana, and Sita travel far away from Ayodhya so that people won't come to convince them to return. Rama insists on remaining in exile, however, and Bharatha decides to rule as a regent from outside the city. When Bharatha returns to the city and finds out what happened, he dresses in bark and goes to Rama to try and convince him to return. When he tells Dasaratha the next day that Rama left, Dasaratha dies. Sathrugna helps the three escape unnoticed that night. As Rama, Lakshmana, and Sita leave the city, a sad crowd follows them. Though he tries to convince them to stay, Lakshmana and Sita insist on joining Rama in exile. Ministers, Lakshmana, and Kausalya attempt to convince Rama to stay, but he insists on leaving. When Rama arrives, he agrees to go into exile. Kaikeyi explains what happened and asks for Rama. The next morning, advisers find Dasaratha and Kaikeyi, Dasaratha in a faint. Dasaratha doesn't want to agree, but feels he must. When Dasaratha comes to Kaikeyi that night, she asks him to grant her two boons that he promised her years ago, and asks that Dasaratha banish Rama to the forest for 14 years and crown Bharatha king instead. She convinces Kaikeyi that Rama will treat her poorly if he's crowned king. Everyone is happy that Rama will be king except for Kooni, Kaikeyi's companion. Rama accepts this, and they begin to prepare for Rama's coronation the following day. After the ceremony, Rama's brothers marry other women from Mithila, and they return to Ayodhya, the capital city of Kosala.ĭasaratha realizes he's getting old and names Rama his successor. Janaka invites Dasaratha to the wedding in Mithila. A handmaid tells Sita, and she's overjoyed to learn that Rama won her hand. Rama not only strings the bow, he breaks it. Viswamithra asks if Rama can attempt to string the bow. When he sees Rama, Janaka laments that Rama can't marry his daughter, Sita: he set the condition that a suitor must be able to lift and string Shiva's bow, a massive bow once owned by the god. She spends the night moving from bed to bed, trying to get comfortable. The woman, Sita, sees Rama as well and is immediately overcome with love for him. When they enter the city, Rama sees a beautiful young woman on a balcony. Viswamithra then takes the boys to Mithila City. Rama assures the sages and saints of their safety as they begin the sacrifice, and he shoots the gathered demons with his bow. Viswamithra tells the boys several more stories before they reach the site of the sacrifice. Rama does, and the gods ask Viswamithra to teach Rama about weapons. Thataka appears and threatens to eat the travelers, but Viswamithra instructs Rama to kill her. As Viswamithra travels with the boys, he tells them the story of a demoness named Thataka. Dasaratha is heartbroken, but agrees, and sends Lakshmana with Rama. One day, the sage Viswamithra comes to Dasaratha and asks that Rama accompany him to protect him during a sacrifice. Kausalya has Rama, Kaikeyi has Bharatha, and Sumithra has the twins Lakshmana and Sathrugna. When the sacrifice is complete, Dasaratha's three wives bear sons. The messenger tells Dasaratha to call a specific sage to conduct a sacrifice. Vishnu agreed to incarnate as a human to defeat Ravana. His mentor remembers a vision in which the gods appealed to Vishnu to help them defeat Ravana, a demon who uses his powers for evil. Dasaratha, king of Kosala, is childless and desperately wants a son to succeed him as king.
