As they grow, the princes are trained in scriptures and warfare. At 16, Rama and his devoted brother Lakshmana are called upon by sage Vishwamitra to combat demons disrupting sacred rituals. They receive divine weapons and training, leading them to confront and defeat the fearsome demoness Tataka and others.
