The demons who were killed on the battlefield were left their mortal coil calling ‘Rama Rama’ thereby they have attained liberation from the worldly existence, thus the ocean of Mercy Lord Rama provided Moksha to all those dreadful demons from the grief of worldly existence, the deities showered flowers on the Lord and the sounds of the divine kettle-drum reverberated in the sky. The deities eulogized the splendor of Rama and returned to their respective abodes in their magnificent celestial vehicles. Thus, the entire Dhandakavana and Panchavati got rid of fear and threat of the demons, soon the deities, inhabitants, Rishis, and Sages were extremely happy. At that moment, Lakshman appeared before the Lord followed by Devi Sita, he fell at the feet of Lord Raghu and embraced him.  Devi Sita fixed her gaze at the marvelous dark cloud appearance of Rama like the Chakora yearningly look at the autumn moon. In this way, Rama performed various amusements while living in the Panchavati, and provided delight to the deities, Sages, and humans as well. Shoorpanakha came to know the death of Khara and Dhooshana, vehemently approached her elder brother Ravana, and shrieked at him “Oh! Brother, you are irresponsible, you have no interest in ruling the Kingdom or its people, all you do is drinking and eating all day. You have no knowledge about your enemies who is at your doorstep. The leadership of a Kingdom without the knowledge of political science, wealth without virtues, righteous deeds performed without the devotion to Lord Hari, knowledge in different fields without common sense are fruitless labor. Oh! Brother, I have heard that an ascetic gets spoiled in the association of people drenched in the worldly matters and material interests, likewise, a King meets his destruction by an evil-minded minister, wisdom gets lost by deceitfulness, modesty vanishes by the consumption of spirituous substances, companionship destroys with the want of love, and the merit of noble deeds disappear with the pride and haughtiness.”
