Reading Notes: PDE Ramayana, Section D

These notes are an outline of section D of the public domain edition of Ramayana online. If you would like to view the other outlines they are linked below:
Section A
Section B
Section C


  • Rama and the army need to figure out how to get across the water from India to Lanka
  • Ravana uses his illusion powers to cause Sita despair
  • Garuda (enemy of nagas) heals Rama's army who have been injured by naga-weapons
  • Lakshmana slays Indrajit (Ravana's son) and Ravana wants revenge
    • Ravana rides into battle and tries to kill Lakshmana and almost succeeds but thanks to healing herbs Lakshmana doesn't die
  • The gods watch as the fighting continues
    • The god are the ones who ultimately predetermined Rama to kill Ravana
  • The sage Agastya comes to give Rama advice on how to kill Ravana
  • Rama kills Ravana (yay!)
  • Sita and Rama are finally able to see each other but Sita feels different about Rama, something has changed
  • Fourteen years of exile has passed and Rama and Sita fly back to Ayodhya in Ravana's chariot
  • Rama will return to the kingdom just in time before Bharata kills himself (which he promised he would do if Rama did not return after exile)
  • Rama finally becomes king
  • Lakshmana dies and Rama decides that it is time for Vishnu (the god who posses him) should return to the heavens

I think I will be able to incorporate the water that separates Lanka and India into my final storybook.

Introduction to a PR Student

My dog's names are Jasper and Snickers. Jasper is a miniature dashchund that loves to lay in anyone's lap and we don't really know what Snickers is because we rescued her...
