Reading Notes: Thataka
- Dasharatha's son's Vishvamitra and Lakshmana went into the jungle
- Thataka is the mother of Maricha
- she is a Rakshasa woman, meaning that she is a humanoid being or a maneater
- She is challenged by Rama, who has twanged his bow
- Vishvamitra and Lakshmana were reluctant to kill Thataka because she was a woman
- Thataka's arms were cut off by Rama; her nose and ears by Lakshmana
- Thataka becomes invisible, but can still cast evil
- Thataka is killed by an arrow that is shot by Rama after Vishwamitra urged him to kill her by sound
