Ravana said he was sparing the lives of the spies as they had done him great favors earlier, and told them to get out of his sight. Mahodar, a rakshasa said a person who was capable of performing this job had to be selected and then sent, not just anyone. He suggested the name of Shardul. Shardul with four of his friends went where Rama was camping. There, they were captured by Vibhishana. The vanaras caught the rakshasas and started pulling their hair and hitting them. Only because a spy was not be killed, their lives were spared. They were bound and taken to Rama.
Rama said he would not kill a spy. He said Tell Ravana instead of sending spies, let him come himself.
Shardul went back and told Ravana what had happened. He too praised Rama and asked him to return Sita and make peace with Rama.
Ravana was disturbed. He sent for a rakshasa called Vidyutjivha. He said he had abducted Sita to make her his wife. Now Sita was not willing to accept him. Ravana then said - You are a master in the arts of illusion. Create a head of Rama. Also create a bow this is like Rama's bow. I will take that to Sita and she thinking her husband is no more, will accept me.
Vidyutjivha sat and started meditating. Intense was his meditation that by the power of that, Rama's head and bow were created. With the basic head and bow ready, the rakshasha then created the hair and ornaments. He then presented that to Ravana. With that head and bow, Ravana left for the garden where Sita was.
Going to her, he said - For long I have been telling you about Rama, and you never listened to me. You tell me about about the qualities of Rama. I went to where Rama was and cut off his head with my sword. Seeing Rama fall, Lakshmana left for his land. All vanaras have been gravely injured and lie with legs and hands cut off. To show you the proof, I bring to you, the head of Rama.
Saying so, the head was shown to Sita by Vidyutjivha.
Sita started crying - She said O Lord, you lost your life in a foreign land and Lakshmana left you and left for Ayodhya, fearing his life. Where have you gone, leaving me. Ravana, give me the sword that you used to cut my lord, and I will cut off my head, myself.
Ravana kept smiling while Sita kept crying over Rama's head.
Suddenly loud cries of Joy To Rama, were heard. Ravana fled with the head.
Ravana went to his court and called his ministers for an urgent meeting.
Sita was crying when Sarama went there. Seeing Sarama, Sita said she had been waiting for her and wanted poison so she could kill her herself. Go and let me know why Ravana suddenly left along with the head of my Lord.
Sarama taking the form of a bird, flew where Ravana was having a meeting. The ministers were saying it was too late to return Sita, all that was needed was Ravana to go and fight Rama and put an end to him and his army.
Ravana's mother came there and told him to make peace with Rama and return Sita.
This angered Ravana and he said if this was said by someone else, he would have put an end to that person. Ravana's grandfather, Malyavan, also asked Ravana to return Sita, which Ravana rejected.
Ravana then said he wanted the great warriors to guard the gates of Lanka and make sure the enemy was not able to come in.
Sarama heard all this. She flew back to Sita. Taking her own form, she told Sita all that she had heard and seen.
Taking the name of Rama, Sita dried her tears.
