Rama and the group head back to Ayodhya while making a few stops on the way. Hanuman is sent ahead to find Bharata and tell of Rama's return. Rama show Sita of all the places that big events happened at during his search for her.
Rama returns to Ayodhya and embraces Bharata and his sandals are returned to his feet. The plans for the coronation are put into action. Someone how the story skips 10,000 years and Sita has now become pregnant. Everyone is gossiping about the decision of Rama to take back his wife after she had been living with Ravana. Rama decides that he will abandon Sita when she goes to the Ganges river. Vibhishana hears of this plan and makes sure that Valmiki will help her when she is in need.
Sumantra believes that Sita is banished from the past happenings of the life of Vishnu. There was a war with the drought demons in which Rama's father fought in. Vishnu got involved and killed an innocent mans wife for protecting the demons. He was then cursed to later be reborn on earth and be separated from his wife as retribution for his deeds.
Sita is left at the Ganges were Valmiki comes to her and invites her into his home. She has her two sons there, Lava and Kusha. There is a year long festival at which Rama's sons continually sing. After a while Rama realizes that the boys are his sons. Sita comes to Rama and asks to poor that she has always been faithful to him. She asks the Earth mother to test her and in doing so disappears for 1,000 years underground. Rama meets with time and is interrupted by Lakshmana so he must die. Rama and his followers go to the river, jump in, and are escorted to heaven.
