Just before going to “Who killed whom in Ramayana | Who was killed first in Ramayana by Lord Rama?”, let us have some brief information.

The main cause for the avatar of Bhagavan Lord Sri Rama on this earth is to safeguard all his ‘bhaktas’ (Devotees) and who follow ‘dharma’ –

and to slay down all who are ‘adharmis’ (Someone who doesn’t follow Dharma / against Dharma).

Bhagavan Lord Sri Vishnu has promised that whenever there is growth in ‘adharma‘, he will definitely take one or more avatars and will surely end the ‘adharma‘ on this earth.

Thus Bhagavan Lord Sri Vishnu took many avatars like:

Lord Sri Varaha avatar, Lord Sri Narasimha avatar, Lord Sri Matysa avatar, Lord Sri Kurma avatar, Lord Sri Vamana avatar,

Lord Sri Parashurama avatar, Lord Sri Rama avatar, Lord Sri Krishna avatar and Lord Sri Buddha avatar.

In the ‘dasha avatars’, Bhagavan Lord Sri Vishnu will take the Lord Sri Kalki avatar at the end of this Kali Yuga to end the reign of the demon Kali and all the ‘adharmis‘.
