After sending those Rakshasaas, Ravan felt Happy as though he has attained all the Purusharthas {(1)Dharma-Righteous conduct- Duty- Pious- humble-Charity -being Noble (2)Material-money,(3)Desire-ambition-Children, (4)Moksha-Attain God’s feet}. Is he not of meagre intellect? Then having desire for Sita, thinking of her only and wanting to see her, went very fast to the Queens Chambers. There he saw Sita seated with torrents of tears pouring down, gone pale due to grief, like a Sinking ship floundering in a Sea pushed around by a Typhoon/ Storm/ Cyclone. Like the Female deer separated from it’s cluster and surrounded by Hunting Dogs, Sita had been captured with her bent head not raised was looking down the Earth, this Ravana saw. “ Oh My! I lost my intellect ! in Jhanasthan I described my Strength, Great Valour and Wealth specially to her. Now if I demonstrate my Authority and Wealth she will be bowled over and will definetely I can entice her” thus he thought. Forcibly he took her and showed the Matchless Palaces and the rare surprises there. The Stages, Balconies,verandas, condominums were beautifully, architecturally constructed in an unique manner there. Every where Dazzling Damsels like the Lightning beauties were loitering and the rare Birds were cooing melodiously in their cages. The Pillars were made of Gold , Silver , Crystals and Gems embedded there in along with Diamonds. When Ravana was alighting stairs steps made of Gold they created a sound of Dhundhubi instrument. Beautiful ornate Windows were made of gold, Silver, Ivory and were coverd by screens made of Golden Bangles. In the Floor, the Gems were embedded creating different combinations and were of enchanting designs. The streams and the walk aways were decorated with Flowers and were made of variety of woods with their carvings. Sita did not bother to see any of these and was immersed in grief , despite Ravana showing her, his Palaces and his splashing of wealth thought that Sita will get enamoured and will join him.
“ I am the Lord for 32 Crores Cruel, Strong,Valouros Rakshasaas I have not included Old people and Children in them. For each job 1000 Raskhasaas have been assigned. Iam entrusting this entire Kingdom and all the work involved in it. I hereby entrust myself to you; Are you not more dearer than my Life? You be the Queen of countless Beauties I have brought from various worlds. Please accept me as your Husband. Why are you thinking of anything else? Do not brush aside my words as they are in your interest only. As I have taken a Liking for you, please have mercy and fulfill my desire. This Lanka which is wide by many hundreds of Yojhanas is guarded by countless Soldiers day in and day out. Even Celestials and Asuras join together they cannot near Lanka. Celestials, Yaksahas, Gandharvas, Pannagas and other creatures of all the worlds will not stand in front of me. What is the use for you from that Puny(Alp) Human Rama who was thrown out from his country, wearing the garb of Thapasvi and is destroying his Life span and reducing his Aura? Join me, I am the worthy husband for you. For people the youth will dissipate faster. So you please spend with me happily your Life. Please remove the thought that you will see Rama hereafter. Will he dare to come here even in his Dream? Storm like wind can it be tied with a Rope? Can you catch the Flame of a towering inferno? When you are under my watch there is none in any world to take you away from here. Endless Lanka Kingdom is yours. Myself Celestials and all the creatures are your Slave. You will be coronated as my Royal Queen and enjoy all the Luxuries and comfort.
You had been to Forest owing to the Sins you had committed; that is now over. Hereafter due to the Punyam ( Good fortune accrued from Past or being accumulated for future by Virtuous Dharma/good deeds/ conduct) you have done you are going to rule this Lanka Kingdom. These Divine Oranaments, Fragrant perfimes,Garlands and those one may think of, all those Luxuries can be enjoyed by us here. I beat my brother Khubera in one minute and confiscated his Pushpaka Vimana (Flower hover Air Craft). That Aircraft is broad and is filled all the materials and shines like the Sun. We both can traverse as we want. Is Your Lotus like Face is it created to undergo agony? Ravana blabberd in many ways. Hearing this Sita who is like Full Moon covered her face with a cloth and shed tears profusely.
Sita who was filled with grief and face having gone pale was constantly thinking of Rama. Ravana saw this and said “ Sithay! are you shy because you have to discard a husband with whom you took marital vow in presence of Agni( God of Fire invoked by Vedic verse chanting)? Our relationship is caused by Divine intervention.This is accepted by Saints, hence it is not Adharma. I will keep your Feet on my head. Please shower grace on me. I am your slave.; iam enticed by you; it has never happened Ravana has bowed his head and sought a woman’s hand. When that is the case I am surprised , how such humble words came from my mouth” Ravana thought that he has won over Sita, Isn’t his time is nearing ? (Slokas26)
