Tarini assures Ravana of his success by Narayana's grace. Mandodari tells Ravana that his current step is the latest addition to his crimes. Ravana defends himself and says that it's important to confirm if Ram is Narayana or not.
Ram's army beholds Tarini. Vibhishan tells Ram that Ravana had imprisoned him for worshipping Narayana and wonders why Ravana sent him in the battlefield. Tarini challenges Ram to face him.
Sita tells Trijata that Ravana's step would be emulated in the future leading to dangerous circumstances. Hanuman tells Tarini that chanting name would make him Narayana's devotee. Tarini responds that he is a devotee of Narayana and the latter resides in his soul. Hanuman challenges him to defeat Ram's devotee before approaching the lord himself. The two indulge in a duel in which Tarini gains an upper hand.
Ram intervenes and introduces himself to Tarini. He asks him the reason behind adopting the path of violence in spite of being a devotee of Narayana. Who told him that violence can be helpful in attaining Narayana? Tarini replies that this path has been suggested to him by his father who himself is a great devotee of Shiva. His father won't drive him on the wrong path. And now he has realized that he will attain Narayana only after ending Ram's life. Tarini evokes a weapon and aims to attack Ram. Ram tells him that there is a thin line of difference between devotion and blind devotion. And since his blind devotion won't let him back off, he has just one option left, his release. Saying so, Ram aims an arrow towards Tarini whose hands freeze. The arrow hits him and produces a divine light. Tarini beholds Narayana in Ram and attains Moksha.
