He tells Angad that he would restore his rightful throne, left by his father to him. Ravan's derogatory remarks about Shri Ram enrage Angad, but he manages to control himself. He, therefore, sends Angad as an ambassador to Ravan's court, with a message, "Tell Ravan, if he loves his life, he should humbly restore Sita and beg for forgiveness." Angad goes to Ravan's court and delivers the message. Shri Ram says that Ravan should be given one last chance. Sugrive tells Shri Ram that the army has completely surrounded Lanka. Ravan arranges his army, while the Vanar Sena surrounds Lanka in the formation laid down by Shri Ram. Shri Ram, happy on seeing Sugrive safe, tells him that it is not advisable for a king like him to take such risks. Sugrive returns to Shri Ram as Ravan resorts to magic. Suddenly, Sugriv leaps up as he notices Ravan on the tower of Lanka. Shri Ram surveys Lanka and admires its beauty. Shri Ram forgives them and says: "If you have completed your task, you are welcome to go back armed with your information." Bibhishan spots them and takes them to Shri Ram. The spies assume the form of monkeys and enter the camp of Shri Ram. But Ravan, proud as he is says: "Is there any warrior in the world my equal?" He then sends two spies, Suka and Sarana, to Shri Ram's camp. She advises him to surrender and return Sita to Ram. Queen Mandodari begs Ravan not to fight with Shri Ram. "Let the army camp here since there are groves and fruit trees in abundance." When Ravan hears that Shri Ram has crossed the sea with his army, he calls Vidytjibha and orders him: "Prepare a head just like Ram with your maya." Ravan goes to Ashok Vatika and tells Sita that her husband has been beheaded and shows the head of Shri Ram smeared with blood. He reaches the shore of the sea and says. The construction of the bridge is completed and Shri Ram crosses the bridge with his army. The noise created by then drowns the roar of the sea. They break rocks, uproot trees and then drag them to the shore. The monkeys, under the supervision of Nal and Neel, start working with gusto. Shri Ram then orders Nal and Neel to construct the bridge. Prior to the construction of the bridge as suggested by the Sea-God Varun, Shri Ram worships Lord Shiva and seeks his blessings.
In the morning, Shri Ram begins to worship the Sea-God Varun, as suggested by Bibhishan.
Earn his friendship instead of risking your life for helping a disinherited prince." Sugriv sends him back, saying that Ravan is his enemy as he is the enemy of Shri Ram. Sukh meets Sugriv and says: "You are a king and Ravan is another.
Ravan discusses the matter with his courtiers and sends Sukh to seduce Sugriv from his loyalty to Shri Ram.
