Episode 88 of the conversations between Yogita Pant and Anil Chawla describes the battles that took place after Ram and Lakshman were saved from death. Raavan was shocked to hear that Ram and Lakshman have managed to rid themselves from the deadly snakes that had encircled and incapacitated the two brothers. Raavan decided to send Dhoomraaksh along with a big army to kill Ram as well as the vaanar sena. Initially Dhoomraaksh and his army gave a difficult time to the vaanar warriors. Just as vaanars were losing ground to Dhoomraaksh, Hanuman challenged him and killed him. The next raakshas warrior sent by Raavan was Vajrdanshtr along with a well-equipped army with elephants, horses, chariots and other animals. Vajrdanshtr was killed by Prince Angad. After the death of Vajradanshtr, Raavan deputed Akampan along with his army to fight. Akampan was killed by Hanuman. (Ref. Chapters 51-56, Yuddh Kand, Shreemad Valmikiy Ramayan)

श्रीमद्वाल्मीकीय रामायण विश्व का प्राचीनतम ग्रन्थ है। इसे आदिग्रन्थ कहा गया है। इसमें राम के जीवन का विस्तारपूर्वक वर्णन किया गया है। इसमें राम का चित्रण एक ऐसे मनुष्य के रूप में किया गया है जो संघर्ष करता है, परिश्रम करता है, जीवन के द्वन्द्वों का सामना करता है, अपने सहयोगियों एवं निकटस्थ व्यक्तियों से चर्चा करता है और विद्वतजनों से मार्गदर्शन प्राप्त करता है। वह धर्म एवं आदर्श के पथ से कभी हटता नहीं है। उन्हें मर्यादा पुरुषोत्तम कहा गया है। उनके जीवन का हर प्रसंग शिक्षाप्रद है, प्रेरणादायक है। चर्चा की इस श्रृंखला का उद्देश्य दर्शकों को राम के जीवन से परिचित कराना है। राम के जीवन को जान कर, समझ कर और आचरण में उतार कर हम अपने जीवन को सुखद एवं समृद्ध बना सकते हैं। समस्त सुधीजनों को अनेकानेक शुभकामनाओं के साथ विनम्रतापूर्वक समर्पित।
