Week 6: Reading Diary B

Hanuman just returned from Lanka with news of Sita. Rama and the monkeys head towards the ocean and Rama gets mad at it and curses it, which awakens Samudra the water king – the water king that helps build a bridge to Lanka for the allies.

Everyone attempts to convince Ravana to let Sita go in order to prevent the attack. However, it doesn’t work and Ravana thinks all of these people are betraying him by not supporting him. Although Vibhishana did not originally betray Ravana, due to Ravana’s anger he had to seek shelter with Rama. He does not betray his people, but still helps Rama.

While the bridge is being built to Lanka Ravana has spies watching every move of Rama and the allies. The spies are caught (twice) and sent back to Ravana. Ravana nevertheless wants war. He desires to win so badly that he awakes Kumbhakarna (his brother) but he disapproves of Ravana’s intentions. Nevertheless, Kumbhakarna agrees to fight Rama with Ravana. Ravana also recruits Indrajit, who ends up killing Sugriva, Angada, Nala, Rama, and Lakshmana.

Hanuman and Vibhishana survive – Vibhishana heals himself and obtain medicines that revive Rama and the allies. In front of Hanuman, Ravana kills phantom Sita.


Lakshmana and Indrajit fight, and Lakshmana kills Indrajit.
