Śrī Rāma prepares to leave for Ayodhyā and at his instance Vibhīsana orders the presence of the aerial car, Puspaka, to take him to Ayodhyā.

At the instance of Śrī Rāma, Indra brings back to life all the monkeys who had lost their life in combat, the gods disperse and the simian army enjoy their well-earned rest.

As enjoined by Lord Śiva, Śrī Rāma and Laksmana pay their respects to the soul of Emperor Daśaratha, who appears in an ethereal form, a replica of his extinct personality, and ascends once more to heaven after giving necessary instructions to his two former sons and daughter-in-law.

The god of fire emerges in person from the burning pyre with Sītā and, restoring her to Śrī Rāma, testifies to her purity and the latter joyfully accept her.

Gods seek the presence of Śrī Rāma, and Brahmā (the creator) proclaims his divinity and extols him.

With a taunting reply, Sītā undergoes a fire-ordeal in order to prove her conjugal fidelity.

Regarding with suspicion the character of Sītā, Śrī Rāma repudiates her and asks her to seek shelter elsewhere.

At the command of Śrī Rāma, Vibhīsana escorts Sītā to the former’s presence and she feasts her eyes on the moon-like countenance of her darling.

Hanumān delivers Śrī Rāma’s message to Sītā and brings back her message to him.

Installation of Vibhīsana on the throne of Lankā; Śrī Rāma sends his message to Sītā through Hanumān.
