Surpanakha, having conquered her rage and revenge, realizes that beauty is not a physical attribute but the truth of nature. She finds fulfillment in growing a garden that reflects the beauty of nature. Having attained a state of non-dependent joy, she also finds a soulmate in Sudhira who respects her wisdom and discernment. Sita learns that her fulfillment, too, does not lie in bringing up her children but in discovering herself.
