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.
