Rsyaśrnga conducts a sacrifice for securing the birth of sons to Daśaratha; the gods approach Brahmā in that very sacrifice with a prayer for bringing about the death of Rāvana; Brahmā implores Lord Visnu (also present there) to descend in the house of Daśaratha and do away with Rāvana and the Lord undertakes to kill Rāvana.
