Jai Sri Ram,
At daybreak Lord Rama said to the sage, you may now go and perform your sacrifice without any fear of molestation, all the sages then started offering oblations into the sacred fire, while Sri Rama himself guarded the sacrifice, one hearing of it the furious demons Marica, a great enemy of hermits, rushed with his army,
Sri Rama struck him with a headless shaft and he fell at a distance of eight hundred miles beyond the seashore, the lord next despatched Subahu with an arrow of fire, while his younger brother, Lakshmana, exterminated the demon's host, having killed demons in this way the lord rid the Brahmans of their fear, the whole company of gods and sages offered praises to him,
The Lord of Raghus stayed there for a few more days and showed his grace to the Brahmanas, Even though the Lord knew everything, the Brahmanas out of their devotion repeated to him many legends from the Pyrananas, the sage then politely said to him in a pleading tone, my lord, let us go and wishes a performance,
Having a bow sacrifice, the lord of Raghus gladly accompanied the noble sage, on the way they saw a hermitage without birds, beasts, or any other living creature, observing a slab of stone lying there the lord inquired of the sage about it, and the sage replied to Lord in detail the whole story behind it,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks, please
