"Bhagwaan Parshuram was very impressed with Shri Ram's humility. But a suspician arose in his mind and to clear his doubts, he gave his Vishnu-dhanush to Shri Ram and told him to pull an arrow over it. And when Shri Ram did what he was told to Bhagwaan Parshuram came to know that the one in front of him was the 7th incarnation of Narayan. But now a problem arose." Krishna said.
"That Shri Ram has pulled the arrow and he cannot let it go in vain so has to hit a target ?" Arjun guessed.
"Correct Parth. Thus Shri Ram kept two offers in front of Parshuram, that he'll either target his speed or the punya earned by him. And due to the order of Rishi Kashyap Parshuram couldn't stay on earth during the night so the Kshatriyas can sleep peacefully thus he goes to Mahendra parvat at night. And hence Bhagwaan Parshuram asked Shri Ram to target the punyalok that were earned by him and not his speed." Krishna narrated.
"This meeting of Shri Ram and Parshuram also meant the passing of duties. Right Vasudev ?" Yudhishthir asked.
"Yes. It meant that now the earth was under the leela of Shri Ram and Bhagwaan Parshuram can rest." Krishna said.
"So now Devi Janki and Shri Ram got married ?" Bheem asked.
"Not so soon Bhratashree. The story of Laxman and Urmila is left." Krishna smiled.

The letters of invitation along with several gifts were sent to Ayodhya, to tell them about the Shri Ram winning Sita's Swayamvar and asking them to come.
In the room of Janki, her sisters and friends had gathered together to celebrate by playing music and dancing.
"Well, I have heard that Maharaj Janak has sent invitations to Ayodhya. Soon they will arrive to get their putra-vadhu." Malvika said.
"Didn't Jijaji sent a letter ?" Shrutkirti asked.
"What will he send a letter for ?" Mandavi asked.
"To ask his parents to post haste because his Sita although in front of him is still far away." Shrutkirti said dramatically putting a hand over her heart.
"Hush now." Janki shook her head.
"What hush didi ? If you go to Ayodhya then who will we tease ?" Urmila asked.
At that everyone became silent, realising that after marriage their Sita didi will leave them after marriage.
"Sita didi will you leave us now ?" Mandavi asked.
"You won't forget us in Ayodhya now will you ?" Urmila asked.
"Never." Janki said.
"But Sita didi, how will we live without you ? Who will we serve ?" Shrutkirti asked.
"We cannot let you leave." Malvika said.
"What ?" Janki muttered.
"Yes we will make Jijaji stay here only." Mandavi said.
"What !?" Janki frowned.
"Yes ! We will convince him to stay here !" Shrutkirti said.
"Come everyone ! We have to convince Jijaji to stay here at Mithaka !" Urmila said.
