Hearing Rama had left, Dashratha died. This was due to a curse from a blind sage, that the king would die when his son left him. Ayodhya was grief stricken. Bharata heard this when he returned. He rebuked his mother. He performed the last rites of the king. When the minsters told him to become king, Bharata said he was just there to serve, and the throne belonged to Rama. he asked all to accompany him and try to get back Rama.
Bharata found Rama on the Chitrakoota mountain. He asked Rama to return. Rama was grieved to hear of the death of Dashratha. He asked Bharata to rule for fourteen years till he came and claimed his throne. Bharata said he would rule alongside Rama and asked for his slippers. Rama gave away the slippers. Bharata took that back, placed it on the throne of Ayodhya.
After Bharata left, Rama, Lakshmana and Sita left Chitrakoota. Then across the ashrama of the sage Agastya. They asked the sage where they should reside. The sage asked them to live in the forest of Panchavati.
Surpanakha, sister of Ravana, one day came there. She saw Rama and wanted him for herself. She changed her self to look like a beautiful woman and approached Rama. Rama said he was married. Surpanakha then went to Lakshmana who said he would not marry or take any woman. Surpanakha thought all this was happening because of Sita. She tried to kill Sita. Lakshmana seeing this, cut off her ears and nose.
Surpanakha went to two rakshasas, Khara and Dushana and told them what had happened. The rakshasas came to fight Rama and were killed.
Surpanakha then went to Ravana. She said she was in the forest when the son of Dashratha had cut off her ears and nose. There was a very beautiful woman there, who deserved to be in Lanka. When tried to get that woman for Ravana, her nose and ears were cut.
Hearing of the beauty of Sita, Ravana wanted to get her. He asked Maricha to help him. Maricha said he had been once attacked by Rama and he did not have the courage to face him again. When Ravana threatened to kill him, Maricha agreed to go in the guise of a golden deer. Seeing the deer, Sita wanted it. She asked Rama to get it for her. Keeping Lakshmana guard, Rama went running behind the deer.
When Rama struck the deer, it shouted out for help, in Rama's voice. Sita was shocked. She requested Lakshmana, and sent him to look for Rama.
