Bharata was upset and angry about the Rama situation and decided to try and get him to return. Nonetheless, he had to be a part of his father's funeral and mourn. Afterward, he went to the jungle and met with Rama. Jabali suggested that Rama lead the kingdom and Bharata remain in the jungle. Bharata responded by giving Rama gold sandals which were a symbol of royal authority.
After a hermitage through the forest where Sita met with a goddess, they stumbled upon Viradha, a beastly rakshasa. Of course, Rama defeated him and was disposed of.
Rama and Sita met with Agastya, a saint, and gives Rama a sword.
Then there was Shurpanakha, sister of Ravana, who wanted to get Rama to leave Sita for her. Rama offers her his brother Lakshmana instead. Despite her counter, he still does not want to wed her. She tries to attack Sita but is fended off by Rama. She goes and gets her brothers to form a battle led by Khara to attack Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana. Rama took them all on alone and slew Khara. Shurpanakha sees all this and goes to tell her brother, Ravana.
Ravana planned to abduct Sita with the help of Maricha, who took the form of a golden deer. Sita is so enchanted with the deer she urges Rama to capture it for her. Rama captured the deer and killed Maricha as he came out of form, but Maricha screamed out mimicking Rama's voice, fooling Sita and Lakshmana into thinking Rama had died. This is when Ravana took his chance to trick and kidnap Sita. As he flew away with her she dropped jewels and her golden veil as a sign for Rama.
Ravana wanted Sita to take him as her husband but Sita was not having it. All the while Rama and his brother did not know where to find Sita until they found Jatayu who told them he was heading south. As they headed south they had to sleigh a great demon named Kabandha. After that, they meet Shabar who has been waiting for their arrival and asks Rama to perform her funeral rites.
