Ravana requests Mareecha
Ravana replied “ Mareecha ! I have a big worry. To accomplish that there is none other than you. My brothers Kara, Dhooshana and Thirichiras and my sister Surpanaka who was born with me and many other Rakshasaas who were residing in Jhanasthan on my orders is known to you. They had been desecrating and destroying the Sages Penance and Dharmas and were living comfortably and spent their time as great Warriors.Those motivated 14,000 Rakshasaas who were keen on Battle opposed Rama with all weapons. He got enraged without uttering any harsh words, in ashort while he with Bhanas (Arrows with feathers)killed them. What a surprise that a Human who was standing in the ground could kill Kara,Dhooshana and Thirichiras? In Dahndakaaranya the Living Beings are now able to move around without fear! His Father got angry and sent him to Forest. He is living with his wife in this gory Forest. How long can he survive? he spoilt the Kshatriya Lineage. , Lowly person, does not have mercy, Fool, Crooked, Greedy, does not have control over his senses, forsaken Dharma, one who seeks calamity for creatures, Without any reason only on muscle power he cut off the Nose and Ears of my sister Surpanaka unjustifiably. Hence I want to take way his wife who is like Celestial angel from Jhansthana. When you and my brothers are there with me, even if Devas oppose me together I will not bother for them. So help me None can match you in Valour, Haughtiness and battle. You are great courageous person, knows all magic and mystiscm, knows all the tricks of the trade. For this only I came to you.
You should disguise as a “ Golden Deer with Silver dots,you should be wandering around the Ashrma so that Sita is able to see you. She will without doubt believe that you are a deer and she will ask the princes to catch you for her. You drag them to far off place, then as Rahu catches Moon, I will very easily abduct Sita. Rama Will lose his heart then Rama will be killed by me easily. Then my plan will be accomplished.
Hearing the name of Rama being mentioned Mareecha’s face went pale, his hands Legs shooke; mouth dried.Once he wet his Lips without batting an eye lid, like a corpse he was looking at Ravana blankly. Thus with fear and agony overtaking him heart broken, since he was aware of Rama’s valour in Dahndakaaranya with folded hands with humility, spoke words which were well meaning to both Ravana and himself. Thus he portrayed the Reality of Rama (Slokas24)
