Rama and Lakshmana and Sita as per the advice of Sage Agasthya decide to shift to Panchavati. There they met an Asura called Viradha, whom the brothers kill. While they were staying there Soorpanakha the sister of Ravana is attracted by Rama , who refuses her. When Soorpanakha tries to carry away Sita , Lakshmana cuts off her nose , ears and breasts. Her Cousin Khara comes with a huge army to fight with Rama. Rama alone kills Khara and his huge army. Soorpanakha goes and tells Ravana that Sita was extremely pretty and when she was trying to bring her to Lanka, Lakshmana ,
Cuts her nose and ears. Ravana falls in love with Sita. He makes Mareecha his uncle to become a golden deer and tempt Sita. When Sita wants the golden deer to play , Rama goes behind it . The deer dies but calls Lakshmana for help. Sita compels Lakshmana to go to the help of Rama. Ravana coming in the garb of a sage kidnaps her. Jatayu , who tries to prevent it is killed.
