Vishwamitra teaches battle skills to Rama and Lakshmana. Taraka's sons inform her about the same. Mahadev advises her not to stop Vishwamitra, Rama and Lakshmana from performing Yagya, but in vain. Vishwamitra becomes impressed with Rama and Lakshmana's archery skills, and asks them to target a bird. Rama intentionally misses the target, as he does not want to kill the bird. Vishwamitra becomes depressed on seeing the same. Later, Rama agrees to abide by his rules.
