Reading Notes: Narayan Guide C
Because Sita is terrified for Rama’s well being she makes
Lakshmana go help him. When Sita is left alone, Ravana picks up the ground she
is standing on and fly’s away with her. Jatayu tries to rescue sita from
Ravana but is killed in the process, but before he dies tells Rama and
Lakshmana which way ravana went. Rama and Lakshmana head south to the monkey kingdom
where the Hanuman sees there coming and disguises as a scholar which Rama sees
right through. The demon Mayavi challenges Vali, then Vali chases Mayavi into a
cave. Then Sugriva loses his wife. Vali can not mount Matanga because of a
curse that was placed on him from when he killed Dundubhi and hurled its carcass,
so it fell near the sage Matanga and angered him. Sita threw her jewelry when
she was kidnapped, and the monkeys found it on the ground, then give it to Rama
and agree to help find her. Sugriva challenges Vali, which vali laughs at. Rama
hides and shoots at Vali during the fight. Then Vali argues with Rama if that
was right or not. Rama and Lakshmana spend the rainy season in the forest. Sugriva
is lost and forgets his promise to help. Lakshmana kicks down the gates of the
city, Tara then greets Lakshmana and placates him. Rama greets Sugriva gladly.
Hanuman and Angada lead a search party south. Hanuman and Angada are trapped
underground with a nymph who once use to be a goddess, and when they break free
she returns to heaven. At the oceans edge they encounter Sampathi, who had
fallen to earth when his wings were born, but the wings grow back when he hears
Rama’s name. Hanuman grows to a gigantic size, so he can step across the ocean
Lanka.
