Once Ravana had tried to move Mount Kailash, the abode of Shiva and his wife Parvati. Annoyed with him, Shiva pressed the mountain down and Ravana’s hands were caught under it. He screamed with pain, and was advised to please Lord Shiva. So when he recited and sang songs in praise of Shiva, he was
Akampan was the only demon who survived the battle. He reached Ravana’s court to tell him the news about it and the death of Khara, Dooshana, Trisira and the soldiers. “It seemed as if every soldier were battling Rama!” said Akampan. This was a part of Rama’s power of illusion. But it did not lessen
Shurpanakha led them to Panchavati. Rama met the generals and asked them to leave, but they had come to do battle with Rama.

As Rama intervened to save Seeta, he told Lakshmana to punish Shurpanakha and teach her a lesson. In a flash, Lakshmana had drawn his sword and attacked her, cutting off her ears and nose. Howling with pain, screaming abuse, and threatening revenge, Shurpanakha fled into the forest. She found her brother, Khara, with his cronies
Shurpanakha was getting irritated by this behaviour and failed to see that the brothers did not wish for her advances.

They were all warriors. “I
The days at Panchavati were enjoyable for both the princes and for Seeta. They sat and talked of the seasons, the beauty of nature, their family, Ayodhya and of philosophy.

Rama and Seeta, with Lakshmana, had lived in the Dandaka forest for about ten years, before they reached Panchavati. They met a huge vulture sitting on a tree along the way.

Rama, Seeta and Lakshmana reached the hermitage of the old sage Sharabhanga, who had been keeping alive only to see Sri Rama. He sent them to sage Suteekshna, before himself taking samadhi in a fire. Sage Suteekshna also gave them great support and they stayed to protect the rishis who were involved in their meditation
After Bharata had left for Ayodhya with his retinue, Rama decided to move to a safer place in the Dandaka forest, as the area near Chitrakoot was often made unsafe by the attacks of demons. They reached the ashrama of Rishi Atri, a wise and learned sage, whose wife Anasuya, known for her wisdom and
Kaushalya wept to see her sons and Janaka’s daughter living in such a poor hut, discarding the comforts of the palace. Rama, seeing Bharata also dressed as an ascetic, asked him why he had not done the duty of a king. Bharata’s nobility shone like the sun and everyone now knew that he was not
