Plot:
Rama, Laksman, and Vismatria set out on a journey to Mithila. They hear of a bow that has been passed down in the Janaka family but no one has had the power to string the bow until Rama arrived. He was able to not only string the bow but he actually broke the string. Rama won Sita's hand in marriage and then Urmila and Laksman ended up getting married too. They had a huge ceremony and made sure to invite Dasaratha. After the wedding, they headed back to Ayodhya but ominous birds swooped low to foreshadow that something bad was coming. A dust storm formed and out came Parasurama, a sage who had killed many. Parasurama challenged Rama after having heard of his strength and Rama passed his test which revealed that he must be an incarnate of Visnu.
