Narayan's Ramayana
-Story about Sita fighting Ravana?
-Backstory about Ravana's curse
-Backstory on the sword "Chandrahasa"
-Put things in better chronological order
-Ravana falling in love with Sita
-Sita is resilient
-Ravana has curse so he can't touch women without consent (awesome)
-Ravana kidnaps Sita by lifting the ground beneath her
-Sita continues to prove her bravery and loyalty; she taunts Ravana and tries to escape
-Jatayu: a giant eagle who has pledged his loyalty to Dasaratha and his children. Dies at the hands of Ravana after a great battle. Allows Ravana to put Sita back and be spared; he declines.
-Ravana was in tatters at least
-Jatayu stayed alive until he saw Rama and Lakshmana, but died before he could tell them where Ravana went
-Rama was not always so perfect; he once killed an innocent life
-Story continues ominously; Rama apparently commits a heinous act by accident
-Kiskinda: old kingdom filled with a monkey race; nobility; god lineage
-Hanuman: right hand man to Sugreeva; spies on Rama and crew; is in awe
-Hanuman and Sugreeva are very empathetic
-Vali is Sugreeva's bro and has inhuman strength
-Vali chased after a man wanting to fight; into a cave; was gone for months
-Elders convinced Sugreeva to block the cave and take his place
-Vali returns and chases Sugreeva away; takes back the throne
-Rama offers to help Sugreeva take care of Vali
-Mt Matanga is off limits to Vali; he has been cursed by Matanga; Dundubi bones
-Sita's jewelry ended up in Kiskinda; Sugreeva gives it to Rama and offers his own help in return
-Rama can shoot arrows through space and time
-EPIC CLASH between brothers !!!!!
-They trick Vali; Sugreeva challenges him; Rama shoots him while he is distracted
-This causes inner turmoil with Rama, who is unsure if he's done the right thing
-Sugreeva "wins" and reclaims his throne and wife; promises to help Rama
-Sugreeva flakes on Rama
-Lakshmana angrily goes to see Sugreeva and convince him to help; he is drunk
-Sugreeva vows to help the crew
-Hanuman and friends set out to find Sita with Rama's ring
-They become trapped in an underground kingdom with a beautiful goddess
-Angada and Hanuman stay for a while, in the care of the goddess
-Angada breaks out of the underground, and the goddess returns to heaven
-Sampathi: Jatayu's bro. Gets his powers back through Rama. Vows to help the crew.
