• Sri Rama visiting the Sharabhanga Ashrama: Sri Rama visited the hermitage of sage Sharabhanga in the Dandakaranya forest. During that time, Indra came to take the sage to the abode of Brahma as a fruit of his great penance. However, the sage refused since he was waiting for the arrival of Sri Rama. Sage Sharabhanga offered the fruits of his penance to Sri Rama. Sri Rama refused and asked only for a place of stay. Sage Sharabhanga told Sri Rama to go to sage Suteekshna (following river Mandakini). Then he entered the sacred fire, gave up his body and went to the abode of Brahma.
