Ravana Coerces Mareecha
Thus Mareecha spoke sane words which showed a safe way out tactically from the Danger and would bestow Sukham(Comfort, Luxury, Joy, Fun,Cheer, Love, Affection and fulfilled Desires) that was in consance with truth. Like a person whose death is imminent throws the Medicine, Ravana did not accept these. Instigated by Kaal(closing in of Death) spoke hard and unbecoming words “ Mareecha ! Your suggestions will not be useful least bit. Speaking words which are not in tune with the Manam{ Chitha(Memory)+Inner Conscience Mind +Intellect(Bhuddhi) +Ego} is like the seeds sowed in a parched Land and will go waste. Rama is after all a Human; Fool; Great Sinner; having a battle with him does not behove of my stature,Fame. Usurping Sita is the right punishment. Your suggestion of trying to coerce me to battle it out with him will never happen. Hearing the words of a Alpa (Insignifican,Puny, small, ignorable, measly/meagre) woman Kayikeyei , the very next few seconds he left his Parents, Friends, Kingdom. With such a Fool do I wage a battle? Will it not cause a dent to my image? For the act of killing of Kara Dhooshana more than the Death Sentence I will bring his wife Sita in your presence. It is more severe punishment than taking his Life. I have decided to this. I will not stop even if Devas (Celestials) and Asuras (Demons) join together.
“ When I have not asked you, it is proper for you to advise me? When you decide to undertake a task, one should weigh what are Virtues and Failings in it ? What are the danger in it? if I ask you should reply. I have not come to you for knowing about that, so whatever you said are inapropriate. You do not know how to address and what to tell a King? If those serving under a King seek their own well being and wealth, after the Master asks with folded hands they should inform the matter. Further one should convey what is pleasant to counsel with courtesy, respect, and softly. That should be sweet and simple to understand and should be in consonance with the thought process of the Master. Even if it is in Hitham ( Soothening counsel - in the interest/Good of You- well meant) but conveyed in an indifferent disrespectful manner then Will the King who is worshipped all accept it? King is Like Fire vanquish sufferings, has the Valour that of Celestails God Indra, affection like Moon, should have the prowess like Varuna to mett out punishments,and have the clarity in Manam{ Chitha (Memory)+Inner Conscience Mind +Intellect(Bhuddhi) +Ego}while executing with empathy and Justice like Dharamrajha(God of Death). Hence King wears the Bodies of 5 Dieties he reigns with Limitless Dazlling efervesence. In all times and in all places we should with Worship him with Manam { Chitha(Memory)+Inner Conscience Mind +Intellect(Bhuddhi) +Ego} and Pleasant words.
“ You know the Ethics of Governance., your intelligence is now shrouded by ignorance. When I am your King, relation & Friend, when I am myself coming and seeking your help, you are stopping me and with Harsh words you have insulted me by ridiculing me. Did I come to you to know the Guna Doshangal (Virtues/failings) or my well being/safety or my Prowess , about my Task? What I am telling is this much only. Your Valour is Limitless and your negating it, is a waste of words. Again I am repeating the help I need from you in clear terms. You should disguise as a “Vichithra(awesome, Novel, Surprising, Unique and unimaginable also Peculiar and beautifully crafted in a novel manner by nature) 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 point at you and will ask the Rama to catch it for her. You drag him to a far off place, Then you should shout “ Hey Sithay ! He Lakshamana! “ in Rama’s voice. Hearing that Sita will send Lakshmana in search of Rama. Due to the affection he has for Rama he will certainly go in search. Thus when both of them are not in the Ashrama , then as Indra catches Indrani , I will very easily abduct Sita. After my job is accomplished you can go to the place you want to go. For this help I will give ½ of my Kingdom. Hence take Disguise of bewitching enchanting Golden Deer, my plan should be accomplished. With you I will also come in this Chariot along with you to Dhanda kaaranya. Without going for war with Rama, we will deceive him and usurp Sita and once my Mental wish is accomplished, both of us will go to Lanka. If you do not act like this and speak further stopping me , I will then kill you in this very spot now. Whether you like it or not you have to carry out this plan. Those who do not comply with King’s desire will never Live happily. If you go in the disguise of Deer you may, by chance escape Death. If you earn my enmity, your Death now is imminent. I have elucidated clearly to you the Virtues/ Failings as well as the Benefits/ Losses in execution of this plan. What ever you feel is appropriate, you may do so.(Slokas 27)
