Mahadev predicts about Ravana's failure, due to his ego. Ravana uses his powers to lift Mahadev's bow in Sita's Swayamvar, but he fails. He becomes furious on being mocked by the kings. He challenges that nobody can lift Mahadev's bow. Janaka becomes disappointed with the kings' power. Lakshmana makes him realise about Lord Rama's strength, and wants him to give a chance to Lord Rama to lift the bow. Rishi Vishwamitra asks Janaka for the same. Ravana confronts Rishi Vishwamitra.
