Reading Notes: Narayan's Ramayana Part 2

Indian Myth and Legend by Donald A. Mackenzie
I liked how noble Rama is here. They inform him that he can go home and become ruler because his father had died. His father had made a deal and a part of it was that his son would not rule and would be banished four 14 years. Rama decided to uphold his father's word instead of returning back to the palace. 

He also shows an extreme devotion to Sita. He loves her very much and same the other way around too. Their relationship takes on many challenges as well as both take on challenges of loyalty. 
Sita
Viradha takes sita captive and Rama goes to save her and slays beast. I liked how they figured out how to slay the almost unkillable beast.
