युद्ध-काण्ड > श्री राम के पास देवताओं का आगमन एवं स्तवन
Gods reach Lanka in aerial cars and approach Rama. They ask Rama why he ignores
Seetha, when she is entering into the fire. Rama appeals them to describe in reality who he is.
Brahma (the creator) proclaims his divinity and eulogizes him with hymns.
