Dushana

Markandeya tells Yudhishthira the full story of Rama's exile: Dasharatha's plan to instate his eldest son, Kaikeyi's demand for Bharata's throne and Rama's banishment, Rama's departure, Dasharatha's death from grief, Bharata's refusal of the crown, and the events that led Ravana to set his sights on Sita.

Kumbhakarna has fallen, and the rakshasa army flees in terror. But Dushana's younger brothers, Vajravega and Pramathi, rally the fleeing warriors and turn to face Lakshmana in a furious assault. The battle is brief and terrible — and ends with a mountain peak and a boulder.
