• The Making of Ravana — Agastya tells Rama the tale of Ravana — the Brahmin-born scholar whose penance won near-invincibility and whose pride spent it.
• The Ideal Reign and Its Price — Rama's rule becomes the measure of a perfect kingdom — until a washerman's gossip forces the cruelest choice of his life.
• Luv, Kush, and the Return to the Earth — Exiled again by a king's hardest duty, Sita raises Rama's twin sons in Valmiki's hermitage — until the earth reclaims her.
