Reading Notes: Ramayana Part B


Battle with Khara:



  • Kind of a sinister setting. Animals howling with a red sun that gets swallowed.
  • Rama wants to fight them alone.
  • Laksmana and Sita go and sit in a cave
  • The Rakshashas appear and come after him looking like a black cloud because they are so dense
  • Thousands of weapons are thrown at him as he starts shooting flaming arrows.
  • Rama gets a celestial weapon and slays Dushana.
  • Sita comes out of hiding and kisses Rama
The Golden Deer:

  • Maricha takes the form of a golden deer
  • Maricha sings to Sita and has her convince Rama to go follow the deer


The Chase:

  • Rama chases a deer and shoots it through the heart
  • Maricha comes out of the deer and in Rama's voice calls out to Sita
  • Sita gets scared and asks for help to check for what Rama is doing
  • Sita gets mad because Lakshmana will not leave her side to go check on Rama
  • Lakshmana gives in and goes to check on Rama
