However, the troubles of Rama were not over and he was forced to send away Sita from his palace because her chastity was suspected by some of the subjects. In the meanwhile the term of fourteen years of exile was over and Rama returned to Ayodhya and became the king. Ultimately as a result of the great battle between Rama and Ravana at Lanka, Ravana was defeated and killed. As a token of gratitude for this favour Sughriva offered the services of Hanuman, his able army general. On the way Rama helped Sughriva to regain his lost kingdom from Bali. Rama and Laxman marched towards Lanka to rescue Sita. Ravana, the demon king, took revenge for the insult of his sister by abducting Sita to Lanka (Ceylon). Laxman not only refused to marry her but also insulted her. However, on persuasion of Rama he returned to Ayodhya and continued to rule in the name of Rama during the period of his exile.ĭuring the course of exile while Rama was living in the forest at Panchavati near Nasik, Ravana’s sister visited them and asked Laxman to marry her. Bharat, who also loved Rama very much, also refused to accept the throne and followed him in jungles. Rama as a dutiful son proceeded on exile with his wife and Lakshman, his brother who loved him most. Utilizing the two promises or vardans given by King Dashratha in the past, she demanded the exile of Rama for 14 years, and throne for her son Bharat. This was quite distasteful to Kaikayi, the youngest queen, who wanted her son Bharat to succeed Dashrath. When Dashratha grew old, he wished Rama to succeed him to the throne, and therefore, appointed him Yuvraj. He had four sons-Rama, (the eldest son born of Kaushalya), Lakshmana and Shatrughana (born of Sumitra) and Bharat (son of the youngest queen Kaikayi). He had three wives, Kaushalya, the chief queen, Sumitra and Kaikayi. According to the story of the Ramayana, King Dasaratha ruled over Kosala (northern Oudha) with Ayodhya as his capital.
