Ramayan: Sabke Jeevan Ka Aadhar is an Indian television series produced by Sagar Pictures which aired on Zee TV.

Recalling that Dasharatha had once promised to grant her any two boons that she asked of him, she demands first that Rama should be exiled to the forest for 14 years and second that Bharata should be crowned ruler in his stead.

Bharata decides instead to bring back to the palace Rama's paduka and places them on the throne as a gesture that Ram is the true king.

When they reach Lanka, Rama battles Ravan and ultimately kills him, signifying triumph of good over evil.

In his chambers, Dasharatha recounts to his other queens, Kausalya and Sumitra, how Kaikeyi saved his life on the battlefield.

When their family priest, Vasishtha visits the palace, he advises Dasharatha to seek Sage Rishyasringa's blessings to beget a son.

Rishyasringa arranges to perform yajna, during which a divine figure emerges from the fire, carrying a chalice of kheer.

At Vashistha's hermitage, the brothers meet the head seeress, Arundhati, and find a mother figure in her.

Arundhati overhears their conversation and tells Vashishtha that along with the knowledge of scriptures and weaponry, princes must also be nourished emotionally in order to become compassionate kings.

Vashishta agrees, so Arundhati teaches them music and other classes to instill positive emotions in the children, as well.

When the princes arrive at the palace, Dasharatha and the queens are at loss of words in seeing their sons after many years.

Vishvamitra leads the princes into Tadaka's cave, where she awakens upon hearing the sound of Rama's arrow.

Pleased with their courage and patience, Vishvamitra endows Rama and Lakshmana with heavenly weapons from the deities, gifting them with invincibility.

On the way to Mithila, Vishvamitra and the two princes come across Sage Gautama's hermitage, where his wife, Ahilya, has been turned into stone due to a curse.

Back in the garden, Sita runs to the temple and prays to Parvati that Rama wins the swayamvara so she can marry him.

Meanwhile, Sita prays to Parvati that she will perform 14 years of penance in exchange for Rama lifting the bow and becoming her husband.

In the heavens, Parvati and Shiva are agitated by her prayer, for now she has destined herself to 14 years of austerity if Rama is able to lift the bow.

After Parashurama leaves contentedly, Vishvamitra suggests that Janaka send a messenger to Ayodhya so that Dasharatha can also be a part of the marriage ceremony.

The next morning, Shatananda, the family priest, warns King Janaka that Ram and Sita cannot get married because their birth charts do not align.

At night, Vishvamitra and Vasishtha advise that the couple get married during an auspicious time frame the next morning, which would ensure a successful marriage.

In the heavens, Indra tells Shiva and Parvati that Rama and Sita's happy life will prove disastrous for mankind.

The deities plan that Chandra will appear at the wedding as a nymph and distract the families so the marriage ceremony is not completed within the auspicious timeframe.
