A group of sages is searching for food and water. Whenever they touch any fruit it disappears. Same happens to the water in the pond, whenever the attempt to quench their thirst. The sages realize that they are being punished for disrespecting Shabri as an untouchable. They arrive at Shabri's Ashram and ask for her forgiveness. Shabri says she has met Ram and reached salvation. She meditates and burns herself into ashes. Ram pays respects to her departing soul and continues his journey. Sugreev meets Hanuman and tells him about the two sages in the forest. Lord Shiva tells Parvati that he has incarnated as Hanuman to serve Sri Ram. Ram meets Sugriv who shows him the ornaments thrown by Sita.
