yaga rakshana

For five days continuouslyRama and Lakshmana guarded the yaga.On the sixth day,Maricha and Subahu came.They rained blood.Then rama dealtMarichs chest with Manavastram.With its force,went over 100 yojanas and fell in the sea.As it could not kill Maricha, Rama used AAgneyastram on Subahu and killed him.

Next day morning Viswamitra told them that he would take them to king Janaka.THer they could see the Shiv dhanush.Noone could either lift it or use it.So they started and by sunset they reached the banks of Sona nadi.Then Rama wanted to know about that place and Viswamitra obliged.
