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.

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...

A patch in the sky was gloomy and black, unlike the sky all above them. Curiously, Harry, Henry and Harry's wife walked towards the direction of the dark patch in the sky. The weather became chilly and gave them all goose bumps. Something was off. It was as if sadness and death has taken over the area that was just under the dark sky. But the three were still intrigued so they continued to walk towards the dark sky. Suddenly there was a loud booming noise and out from a patch of trees a creature slowly emerged and its bright red eyes stared straight at them. "Don't move..." whispered Henry. "We need to run..." Harry whispered back. From the shock of seeing the...
