vrm.5.26 "By which Rama Viradha, best among Rakshasas, has been killed in Dandaka forest in a war, why is that He not saving me?" "This city of Lanka being in the middle of ocean is difficult to be attacked.
vrm.5.31 Thereafter, hearing about the killing of Rakshasas in Janasthana, a part of Dandaka forest, in addition to killing of Khara and Dushana the Rakshasas, the enraged Ravana took away, Seetha, by deceiving Rama in creating an illusive image of deer in the forest.

vrm.6.107 Thought equipped with many arrows and well versed with all kinds of missiles, the valiant Rama, the augmentor of Kausalya s joy, then became thoughtful said to himself as follows: "What is the reason, these arrows by which Maricha, Khara, Dushana, Kabandha in Krauncha forest, and Viradha in Dandaka forest were killed, by which seven Sala trees and the mountains were burst, by which Vali was killed and the ocean shaken up all these arrows which provided immediate succour to me in battle, have proved of little efficacy in the case of Ravana.
vrm.6.125 With joined palms in salutation, Hanuma the son of Vayu spoke as follows to that Bharata, who knew what is right and seemed to be a second Dharma the god of virtue clothed with a body of virtue: Rama", for whom you are repenting residing as he was in the forest of Dandaka wearing the bark of trees and matted locks, has enquired about your welfare.
vrm.6.126 Rama", thereupon, entered that large, terrific and solitary forest of Dandaka, which had been trampled by Elephants and extensive with Lions, Tigers and Deers.
vrm.6.126 "The Rakshasas who were the mighty inhabitants of Dandaka forest, who were causing obstacles to the austerity of the ascetics, were killed by Rama.
vrm.7.29 Let that hero now speedily go to protect the Dandaka forest and the highly powerful Dushana shall be the commander of his forces.
vrm.7.29 Being encircled by those grim visaged Rakshasas, Khara, undaunted, speedily came to the Dandaka forest.
vrm.7.29 There he goverened without thorns and Surpanakha too also resided in the forest of Dandaka.

vrm.7.60 Formerly did Rama go through miseries, residing in the forest of Dandaka, at the command of his sire for fourteen years.
vrm.7.94 From that time it passes by the name of Dandaka forest And it is otherwise called Janasthana because the ascetics used to perform austerities there.
