Rama and Sita and Lakshmana wandered through the forest, welcome guests at every hermitage. Both the brothers also killed several other asuras in the jungle along with Khara, younger brother of Ravana. While staying in the hermitage at Panchavati they also confronted Surpanakha, demon king Ravana's sister whose nose and ears were chopped by Lakshmana since she tried to kill Sita. Lakshmana constructed a spacious bamboo house there, well-thatched with leaves and with a well-smoothed floor. Lastly, Rama, Lakshmana and Sita settled in the Panchavati forest. Jatayu promised that he would guard Sita when the two brothers were away. While staying in the forest they once met the vulture Jatayu who introduced himself to the tow brothers as a fried of king Dasaratha of Ayodhya. Both Rama and Lakshmana protected the sages from the devilish rakshasas in the jungle and they lived in the jungle peacefully. The wandering life of the two brothers and Sita in the forest is the main description of the episode. Forest life of Rama, Lakshmana and Sita forms the opening part of the Aranya Kanda.
