Reading Notes: Ramayana Part B

A majority of Part B was stories about Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana after part A which was when Rama was thrown out of Ayodhya. In the stories they meet a number of people as they travel throughout the different areas in the number of tales. They meet.......
  •  Indra
  • Urmila
  • Anjana an apsara (Hanuman's mother)
  • Anasuya wife of Atri
  • Vayu the wind-god
  • Hanuman the monkey son of Vayu
  • Agastya
  • Nidra-Devi the goddess of sleep
  • Rishi Sutikshna
  • etc
Part B consists of a number of different tales/stories that have many different things going on in a variety of different settings. However, they all come together and are most likely going to lead to a specific event at the end. Part B leaves the reader wondering what is going to occur next after Sita gets kidnapped by Ravana. I am sure this is leading to a specific event which will take place in either Part C or D.
