Lakṣmaṇa and VibhÄ«á¹£aá¹‡a then attack Rāvaṇa. Lakṣmaṇa cuts off the head of his charioteer with his arrow, while VibhÄ«á¹£aá¹‡a, with his club, kills Rāvaṇa's horses. Rāvaṇa looses a great spear at VibhÄ«á¹£aá¹‡a, which Lakṣmaṇa destroys, but he in turn falls victim to another of Rāvaṇa's spears, which pierces his chest and goes into the earth. Monkeys unsuccessfully try to pull it out, which Rāma does, offstage here. Rāma swears a solemn oath that this day Rāvaṇa will perish, and his hail of fearsome arrows then drives the terrified Rāvaṇa off the field. Rāma returns to the stricken Lakṣmaṇa and, after lamenting over the fallen hero, he and Suá¹£eá¹‡a discuss his condition. They decide to send Hanumān to the Himalayas once more. Divine beings rain flowers on the heroes.

Rāma sends Hanumān to VibhÄ«á¹£aá¹‡a in the city to tell him to bring Sītā suitably adorned into his presence. Women bring her dresses and jewels. Sītā is brought to Rāma in a palanquin by Hanumān and VibhÄ«á¹£aá¹‡a and his demons. VibhÄ«á¹£aá¹‡a attempts to drive off the crowd so that Sītā should not be seen by strangers, but disguising his happiness Rāma says it is not forbidden to look on a woman who has fallen into distress. Many monkeys clamber up on the hill to see Sītā emerge from her palanquin. Rāma repudiates her: she has lived in another man's house and hence it would not be fitting for him to take her back. Grief-stricken, she replies that it is not possible for her to live without Rāma and asks Lakṣmaṇa to prepare a funeral pyre for her to test her chastity.
