Rama, riding the chariot, flies to Kishkindha and then to Bharadwaja's hermitage.
Hanuman tells Bharata that Rama is returning.
After much gift giving, Sugriva and Vibhishana return back to where they came from.
Sita becomes pregnant. Rama begins to hear others talking about how he took Sita back after she had been with Ravana.
Eventually, Rama decides that Sita must be abandoned to the Ganges.
Narada- Hindu's most traveled sage
The book briefly discusses Sumantra
This gave good insight into his past and even noted on Dasharatha.
Sumantra believes Sita's fate is a result of karma.
Sita gives birth to Kusha and Lava in Valmiki's hermitage.
Rama puts on a festival in the Naimisha forest.
Kusha and Lava are learning the Ramayana song.

Sita wants to prove her innocence to Rama. She does so by asking her mother the Earth for help.
Kala- time
Durvasa- hermit
Lakshmana dies after interrupting Kala and Rama.
The ending really stood out to me in this story.
Rama jumps into the Sarayu river to meet his end, along with his followers.
