सर्गः ३
In which Rama maims spear-hurling Viradha, the fallen foe confesses cursed Tumburu freed by Rama's blows, and burial wins him heaven.
Rama names brothers as Ikshvaku kshatriya forest-dwellers — Viradha boasts Brahma boon against weapons — Rama looses seven arrows piercing Viradha — Rama cuts hurled spear with two arrows — Brothers break Viradha's left and right arms — Fallen Viradha reveals cursed gandharva Tumburu — Viradha directs Rama to Sharabhanga nearby — Brothers bury Viradha and regain Sita joyfully
