- Rama to be King
- Kaikeyi is at first excited by this but later Manthara scares her of the idea claiming Kaikeyi will become a slave to Kauslaya
- Kaikeyi uses her two promises from long ago against the King
- Rama exiled to the forest for 14 years and Bhrata king of Ayodhya
- Rama is obedient and makes sure his father stay true to his word even though Dasharhata doesn't want to go through with it
- Sumantra tries to convince Dasharhata to relent his command but Dasharhata cannot and Rama won't let him
- Sumantra charioteers Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana out of the city
- The Kosala's follow Rama out of town trying to stop him
- Guha rejects Shiva's statue by kicking it everyday
- Upon Guha's death, Shiva rescues him from Yama --> Shiva considers Guha a "loyal follower" even though his intentions were to dishonor him
- Dasharhata almost teaches Kaikeyi the animal language which would explode his heart --> cause his death
- Kaikeyi has been conniving undercover for a while now
- Dasharhata deters this attempt for now
- Sumantra returns to Ayodhya leaving Rama and others alone where they find shelter in Chikrahuta --> deceived, this place is not peaceful
- Upon Sumantra's arrival with the news of Rama going further into the forest, Dasharhata remembers why this is happening: Karma
- Dasharhata had killed a young boy of blind parents by accident in earlier years and the parents told him he would get what he gave them in return by he gave them the peace of death as well
- Dasharata dies in his sleep that night
