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

Hi, my name is Chelsea Journee and I am from The Woodlands, Texas. The Woodlands is about 30 minutes north of Houston, Texas.

I am currently a first semester senior (by hours) at OU. I am studying public relations and my minor is general business. On campus I am pretty involved. I am in a social sorority, I am an account manager for Lindsey + Asp (OU's student-run PR and ad agency) and I am also the treasurer for PRSSA (Public Relations Student Society of America).

Sita and Rama spent hours together every week, but considering that they were both college students they spent most of their time together studying. On the weekends they would occasionally go to dinner together or watch a movie. Sita was very involved in her schoolwork. She was in a lot of campus clubs and activities, while Rama tended to just hangout with his friends, especially his best friend Lakshmana. Sita didn't know why but she was still madly in love with Rama, despite their obvious differences in character and work ethic. Rama was doing so badly in school that the university even threatened to kick him out. Sita didn't understand why he was doing so badly even though the majority of the time they hung out toge...
