The Episode starts with Ram seen doing the aarti at the Gurukul temple. He prays. Gurudev comes and says Ram… Ram greets him and smiles. He calls out Laxman, Bharat and Shatrughan. Gurukul says your teachings have completed, but always remember, one always learns from life. Ram says sure Acharya. He blesses them. Gurudev sees them packing their belongings. He advises them to do well in their lives. He asks about Ram. Bharat says Ram said he can’t leave his duties until he is in Gurukul. Ram feeds a cow. He says my mums weren’t here in this ashram, but Nandini, you gave me love, I also love you, one who comes has to leave after the motive gets fulfilled, you also left your mum Kamdenu and came, I have to go, don’t get upset. A tiger comes there. Ram says I will keep coming to meet you, have the food now, someone else will come to feed you the food from tomorrow, I will go if you don’t eat the food, I m telling the truth. He turns to go. He hears the tiger sound and runs to see the cow. He picks the arrow. He shouts leave Nandini. The tiger says you are calling me cruel, nature has made me such that I eat other animals and stay alive. Ram says I m dutiful towards my Guru and Kamdenu, don’t come between my Dharm, else….
The tiger says my Dharm is to rule over this jungle, if you leave me hungry, then will this be Dharm, tell me Ram, you will do Adharm by snatching my food. Ram says its my Dharm to protect Dharm, your Dharm is to feed your hunger, there is one solution for Dharm Sanket, sacrifice. The tiger says I won’t sacrifice my hunger. Ram says but I can sacrifice. He keeps the bow and arrow down. He says I present myself in place of Nandini, free Nandini and make me your food, you will get food and my Kul prestige will be safe. The tiger asks will you become my food for saving a cow, there is no one here to blame you. Ram says yes, if everyone knows that a tiger has eaten me, then no one will blame you, I can’t do sin to leave my duty, nothing is more auspicious than sacrifice, make me your food and leave Nandini.
The tiger steps back and jumps over Ram. It disappears. Gurudev comes and says Nandini is fine and your Dharm also, this test was taken in front if your ancestor Dilip also, he also did the same, it was Kamdenu’s test and you passed, I m very pleased with you. Ram says I will always remember your teachings, I will always stay away from bad things and battle it. Gurudev blesses him.
He says I m proud that I m sending Dharm’s Suraj to Ayodhya. Raavan is seen going to Yamlok. The people are seen getting tortured in Yamlok. Raavan comes there and calls out Yam. Yam asks who are you. Raavan says I m Mahakaal’s Bhakt. He fights the guards of Yamlok. Yamraj catches Raavan to kill him. Raavan fights him. He says I have got Mahadev’s blessings, you should get scared of me. He goes to kill Yamraj. Brahmadev comes there and stops their fight. He asks what do you want. Raavan says I want the Amrit. Brahmadev says you can’t get it.
Raavan says I knew it, you go, but I won’t go from here, until I get Amrit, I won’t go, its my promise, give the kalash to Asur, else I will kill Yam. Brahmadev gives the Amrit kalash to Raavan. He says I promise, I won’t use this, it will always stay safe with me. He takes the Amrit in his body. He says when I get attacked, this kalash will break and Amrit will mix with my blood, this way my promise won’t break, now Raavan can’t get defeated.
Dasharath waits for Ram. Kaikeyi says even I have waited for my sons to return and to see happiness on your face, you couldn’t sleep well for 9 years. Dasharath says I wish Ram comes and hugs me. Kaikeyi says your sons have grown up, we don’t know how they look, where fate takes our sons. They see the colours in the sky. He says it means Ram is on the way. She goes to call Kaushalya and Sumitra.
Back in Mithila, Sunaina says I m worried for Sita, Gargi has told us, can we find a suitable groom for Sita. Janak says yes, she is not ordinary. She says that’s why I m worried, we have to find a suitable groom for her right away. He says but I want to know is Sita ready for marriage or not. Gargi says your parents would be worried for your marriage. Sita says I didn’t think for marriage, shouldn’t the girl marry if she is independent and capable. Gargi explains her. She says a human’s love looks like a flower from far but it hurts like a thorn, wedding is a chain for women, are you ready to live such a life, your dreams will end and your husband’s dream will be your life’s truth. Sita says sorry, its about perception, I feel wedding is devotion, one has to respect each other and become strength. She tells about Vishnu and Lakshmi. Gargi says Lakshmi is always at Vishnu’s feet and serves him. Sita says she isn’t his slave, she is at his feet, it shows her inspiration, they both aren’t complete without each other, I m sure I will find my Narayan.

Dasharath says Ram has come back to Ayodhya. He blesses his other sons. Bharat gives him a drawing and pleases him. Dasharath says come, we will go to Rajya sabha.
