Week 7 Reading Diary A

"Oh Sita….Rama will untie your braid; he will free you” --- foreshadowing for what is to come from Valmiki.


Indrajit’s funeral was held, then Ravana planned to attack and kill the animals. “At dark I will meet again…then I’ll kill Rama.”

Mandodari confesses her love for Rama, and Hanuman and Sugriva kill Lightning and Thunder in this section.

The first chapter in this section is called Ravana and Time – because Ravana is warned by time but he does not take its advice. Every time Rama (just like in Narayan’s version) cuts off one of the head of Ravana, each grew back. Rama is able to revive people.

Rama kills Ravana.

On the last night of the battle, the Rakshasa Minister stood at Rama’s bridge and delivered a note from Ravana to Rama.


Sita is proven innocent, and Rama returns from his exile. Rama is made king, and the monkeys celebrate.
