  • Mareech has taken on the form of the golden deer, Sita sees it and wants it
  • Laksh is skeptical for it may be an illusion 
  • Ram goes on the hunt, he figures out he's being duped, but before he could finish off Mareech, Mareech cries for help as Ram causing Sita to panic and insist on Laksh going into the forest, making him break his brother's direct order leaving Sita alone and unguarded

  • The devil in disguise:
    • Lakshman is runs off in search of Ram
    • Ravan arrives at the cottage dressed as a poor old hermit 
    • Sita receives him with respect 
    • Ravan transforms to his actual self 
    • Sita is telling Ravan to flee before Ram comes back 
    • Apparently Ravan was cursed that if he touched a woman without her consent that he would die that instant...thus he pulls the ground under Sita and places it in his chariot and speeds off. 
    • Jatayu tries to stop Ravan, Jatayu was successful in stirring a storm and bringing the chariot down..
    • Unfortunately Ravan uses his master weapon gifted by Shiv called Chandrahasa and finished Jatayu
    • Jatayu fights to stay alive until Ram comes
    • Ravan carries Sita to Lanka
