The next day at dawn, the Lord said to the sage to perform his sacrifice as usual, but with no fear. All the sages got together, and started offering oblations to the holy fire, while Shri Ram Himself , guarded the area.
Mareech the demon, a big foe of the sages, upon hearing about the sacrifice, rushed furiously with his forces. Shri Ram aimed a headless shaft that struck him, as he fell eight hundred miles away, even beyond the sea shore. Next, the Lord took care of Subahu, with an arrow of fire, while His younger brother Lakshman, took down a host of other demons. All the Brahmans got rid of their fear, after Shri Ram killed the demons; then the whole contingent of sages and seers sang the praises of the Lord.
The two brothers, stayed on for a few days, keeping everybody very happy. The Brahmans in their devotion, narrated stories from the Puranas, not comprehending that the Lord was the fountain of all knowledge.
One day, the sage asked Shri Ram to go and witness a bow sacrifice. So happily, the brothers accompanied the holy sage. While on the way there, they came upon a deserted ashram. Not even a bird, a beast, or any other living creature could be seen around. Upon seeing a slab of stone, lying on the ground, Shri Ram enquired of the sage. Then, he told Him the whole story, which of course will have to wait for another day. Till then live in bliss, that is Ram Rajya! JAI HO!
