The episode begins where it ended last week with the announcement of Hanuman in front of Ram informing him about the finished construction of the bridge till 100 yojan out of the 400 yojan to be covered for the way to Lanka .Rama congratulates everyone and Thanks Lord Shiva for his blessings. He also prays to Shiva asking to bless his followers with Shiva’s bhakti and says that anyone who does not follow Shiva before coming in his shelter will never get any fruit of Ram’s bhakti. He also gives a name to Lord Shivalinga saying from today the people here will come to know you as Rameshwar i.e The master of Lord Ram. He hails the glory to Lord Rameshwar.

Rama and Lakshman stands before the great bridge and all hail the glory of Lord Ram. Ram addresses the gathering saying that it is a commendable effort of the dexterity of Nal and Neel and the hard work of Vanars. He congratulates them for achieving a feat in mere 5 days , which is no simple task. He says that the bridge is calling all of us to end the tyranny of Adharma.

Jamvant asks Ram to set his foot on the bridge first. Everyone Hails the glory of Lord Rama and Shiva as he steps on the bridge .As soon as Ram steps on the bridge, there is shaking of Ravan’s throne in Lanka’s palace. Ram , Lakshman and the entire Vanar Sena move forward on the bridge with determination in their eyes. Lord Shiva smiles and looks upon giving his blessings.

In Lanka, Ravan grumbles in disbelief as someone informs Ravan that they have achieved the feat of building a bridge in 5 days. Ravan gets furious.

In Ashoka Vatika , Sita sees Trijata and says that her heart is extremely joyous today; she feels something extremely senses something great. Trijata confirms the news of Lord Ram’s arrival and Sita’s eyes brim with tears of joy.

In the Lanka palace, someone informs Ravan that RAM HAS CROSSED THE ENTIRE BRIDGE.

On the sea shore of Lanka,Ram and Lakshman is amazed by the construction of the cantonment with judicious use of tents. Sugriva also informs that Vibhishan has helped in the construction map as he has divided the entire army into different directions and has made the central hut of Ram so that he can co-ordinate with the various sections. Ram praises Lakshman saying that he can sense the artistry of Lakshman in every tent created. Lakshman humbly distributes the credit with all the army men. Jamvant asks Ram to take rest as he has not slept since days.Ram refuses saying that even you all have not slept since days. Lakshman intervenes and asserts that the duty of a soldier is to remain alert even while sleeping and he can take rest even while being alert. Ram echoes his sentiments.

In the Lanka palace ,in Ravan’s rest room ,both Ravan and Mandodari gaze at the moon and Ravan smiles. Mandodari is curious regarding Ravan’s smile .Ravan replies that he is very pleased to see her today .When the moonbeam fall son Mandodari’s jewelled earrings ,it reflects and scatters the moonbeam which casts its reflection on Ram ,Lakshman And others who are there at the cantonment. Ram wonders asking what is it shining ? He says it appears as if the moon is happy to see you. Lakshman looks suspiciously as Ram asks curiously that why such lightening effect is being created here. Jamvant clarifies that Vibhishan had once told me that on Trikut mountain ,Ravan is engaged in luxuries and his crown and Mandodari’s earrings are creating an illusion of lightening effect.

Lakshman is angry saying that even when the enemy is at their doorstep , still Ravan is least bothered.It appears as if he does not even know the news of their arrival. Jamvant corrects him saying that this is a trick used by Ravan so that his enemies are subdued by his carelessness and Ravan’s men are not panicked by war threat. Ram asks Lakshman to fetch his bow and arrow saying he needs to warn Ravan about his arrival. Ram aims his bow and arrow shooting it towards Trikut mountain ,the arrow hits Mandodari’s earrings and Ravan crown too falls on the ground. Mandodari is scared and Ravan is furious.

Next morning Ravan says in his courtroom that war is inevitable and declares to stop all luxuries and enjoyments from now on.

At the cantonment , Ram ,Lakshman walks out armed, all hail their glory. Sugriva informs that our army is ready at their positions and they are waiting for his instructions. Ram says I have a thought of giving Ravan one more chance. Before his men attacks and destroy the beautiful city ,Ram wants to give Ravan a chance to return Sita with dignity and stop the war and come in his helter asking forgiveness. Lakshman gets furious saying that how can Ram think of forgiving the evil mind who kidnapped Devi Sita ,the one who mercilessly killed Jatayu, how can Ram even think of forgiving him. Ram calms him saying that a person with great might should never forget humility and a soldier should always think of forgiveness before destruction of something so beautiful. Lakshman seems calmer as Ram announces to send a DOOT ‘messenger with the terms of Returning Sita to them. Lakshman suggests sending Hanuman but Ram says it will give an impression that they have only one warrior amongst them. All zero in upon Angad. However Ram asks Angad whether he will be able to accept the duties of a messenger as he is a prince. Angad humbly agrees and Ram makes him aware about the skills of a messenger who needs to convey the message of his master without bias and also never forget the respect of the other king.Angad agrees to all this humbly and says it’s his pleasure and pride to slip into such a role.

At the fort gate when the soldiers see Angad walking towards them ,they stop him and ask his purpose of visit. Angad says he is Rajdoot and wants to speak to Lankesh.

In the place the soldier seeks permission from Ravan who is amused by his victory mocking Ram for sending a peace messenger. He asks to get the messenger.

At the fort gate the soldier asks Angad’s men accompanying him to back off and Angad to leave back his arms.The men and Angad follow the same.

In the palace of Ravan ,he asks the purpose of the visit. Angad says that it is the basic manners to give a Rajdoot a seat to him first. Ravan mocks Ram calling him a vanvaasi and beggar. Angad warns him praising Ram and says he should have left immediately with that kind of insult but since he has a message ,he will create a seat for himself here.Angad hails the glory of Ram and his tail extends making a pile behind him like a seat; Angad climbs on it and sits face to face with Ravan. The courtiers watch in surprise and shock.

Angad announces his purpose of visit in an affirmative tone.He also says that since he is the friend of his dead father ,hence he will speak in his favour.Angad reminds Ravan about his glory and good works of Ravan ,also chiding him for his evil deeds later. So Angad asks Ravan to come to the shelter of Ram as Lord Ram is the all-powerful and he will forgive your sins .
All the courtiers look very scared when Angad hail the glory of Ram’s feats on this world. Ravan interrupts asking him about his father. Angad gives the introduction of his dead father Bali. Ravan says we have a friendship treaty with your father who was a friend .Ravan also days that it is so shameful to have a prince following an ordinary mortal with folded hands. Indrajeet intervenes saying that perhaps Angad had been forcibly made to do such things sacred of Sugriva. Ravan assures Angad that he should leave Ram and join hands with them and he will make it sure that Angad is crowned the king. Angad listens placidly to all these temptations.

Precap : A messenger informs Ravan that the army of Ram has attacked at all the gates of their palace. Ravan asks about the opinion of Indrajeet. He replies that Indrajeet wants that we counter attack the opponents without second thought.
