Kaikeyi demands Rama's exile, Dasaratha finds Kaikeyi lying dishevelled on her bed and her jewels discarded about her. She rises up to claim the promises and demands that her son Bharata be given the throne and Rama be exiled for fourteen years. Dasaratha is distraught and kneels at Kaikeyi's feet beseeching her to change her mind. The minister Sumantra in the middle has been sent at dawn by Vasistha to summon Dasaratha to the consecration.

The exiles make their final farewells, Kaikeyi is persuaded that Sita has no need to wear robes of bark, as her going is voluntary, and Dasaratha orders enough jewels and fine clothing to be provided for her for fourteen years. Sita's bark robe lies discarded. Dasaratha loses consciousness and, when he comes round, orders his minister Sumantra to bring the chariot for the exiles. Sita is embraced by Kausalya, who reminds her unnecessarily that her first duty is to her husband despite his fallen state, and she replies that a good woman regards her husband as her god whatever his status.

The exiles meet their mothers, The Brahmins and the queens in their litters approach. Kausalya points out the place by the river where Rama offered the ritual water and laments the pitiable quality of the pindas offered to her dead husband.

Dasaratha says that he too will go into exile with Rama, so that Bharata and Kaikeyi can enjoy the kingdom together, but Rama refuses to accept any of this.
