"Rama hesitated; for all her evil, she was still a woman. How could he kill her?...Viswamithra said...'such a monster must receive no consideration...formally god Vishnu himself killed...Mandorai, a woman bent upon destroying all the world...you must rid this world of her. It is your duty.' Rama said 'I will carry out your wish'," (13).

​

This symbolizes Rama's acceptance of his destiny to rid the world of evil. Throughout the remainder of the story, all obstacles that Rama faces seem to be over come with a god-like ease. Rama becomes the master of his humanity and his powers.
