Reading Diary A, Week 7

The battle rages on between the followers of Rama and Ravana's demons. Jambavan is a beast when it comes to fighting, no one can really stop him. Ravana's magicians try to stop him but they are killed by Sugriva and Hanuman. The hawk notices that the city of Lanka is in despair and is losing hope in winning the battle.

Ravana and Rama prepare to battle one another in the final battle. Ravana drives his own chariot because he has so many hands and heads. Rama is given a special chariot by Indra and it is driven by Matali. The two battle in the air for a while and then move to the ground. Finally Ravana is defeated by Rama. Buck adds an interesting letter into his version of the story. It is a letter written by Ravana for Rama at the occurrence of his death. The letter tells Rama to take Sita back. Rama makes Ravana's brother, Vibhishana, the king of Lanka.

Sita and Rama are reunited and the fire god agni testifies to her innocence. Rama takes her bake and trust that nothing occurred with Ravana. Rama must now return home because his exile is soon to end and Bharata vowed to kill himself if Rama didn't return. Everyone heads to the coronation of Rama.
