- Thunder- Tooth creates an illusion of Rama's bow
- Lightening- Tongue creates an illusion of Rama's head
- Ravana takes the illusions to Sita to show her that Rama is dead in an attempt to get her to give into him (get in his bed)
- However, Sita knows Rama well and the illusions were not an accurate enough depiction of Rama to fool her
- Oblivious to what is going on, Prahasta the General, barges in and announces Rama's arrival to Lanka on the bridge Nala had created
- Trijata (girl), a demon that grows compassionate of Sita, begins spying on Ravana and informing Sita about what is going on with the war between Rama and Ravana

- Kumbhakarna doesn't give up easily however
- Rama, finally, cuts his head off with an arrow
- Indrajit comes to attack Rama with his invisible tiger- drawn chariot
- Indrajit is launching thousands of arrows and succeeds in killing Lakshmana and Rama
- However, Indrajit only injured Jambavan,Vibhishana, and Hanuman, the monkey with eternal life
- Vibhishana finds Hanuman and Jambavan just greatly injured and Jambavan asks desperately if Hanuman was still alive. This irritated Vibhishana
- However, Jambavan tells Hanuman to go to the medicine and bring back the plants which will bring Rama back to life

- Hanuman brings the whole mountain to the battlefield
- Because he jumped with the hill, the herbs heated up and all the allies including Rama were restored
