Surpanaka Counsels Ravana
Ravana being insulted in the presence of his ministers by Surpanaka with these harsh words, With Rosham (When Ego is Hurt, Pride disrepected, dishounoured), got angry with Rama Ravana asked “Who is this Rama? What type of Valour and Strength does he have? How is his Physique? Why did he come to Dhandakaaranya where normal people cannot enter? With which Weapons did he kill Kara, Dhooshana and Thirichiras?
Surpanaka enraged, started describing Rama as she has seen him factually. Though She fell in insatiable Love with Lakshmana, she is brief, started describing Rama who enchants every Living being “Rama has Long Hands stretching upto his knees; he has broad eyes; he wears Deer skin and Maravuri (Dresses made of wooden Barks / Leaves); He is handsome like Manmadha (Male God of Love); his PARAKRAM (Achievement, Might, Puissance, Exploits, Valor, Heroism, Gallantry, Prowess, Ability, Valour) has no Limits. Still he has compassionate eyes which showers Grace. Wearing garb of Thapasvi (Saintly Mendicant known for his Penance) he has come to redeem the suffering of those who seek his refuge and bless them with the ultimate salvation of Moksha for this only he has come to Forest; He has a Bow which is similar to Indra’s with Golden bandings holding the Kothanda (Bow), bending it, string it he shoots the Bhanams ( Arrows with Feather ) which are Like the Serpents of Death. His speed of taking the Arrows, stringing it on the bow and shooting them is so fast that it is not visible to Eye. Like Indra destroys the Paieer ( fully grown Paddy) with hail storm. We can only see the enemies falling dead by his Bhanams. He stood alone and killed the Gory Rakshasaas in short time.he killed Kara, Dhooshana. He granted Asylum / Protection to Saints. He bestowed well being to Dhandakaaranya. I am a woman and do not have a support, hence killing me is not Dharma so he allowed me to escape.
He has a brother named Lakshmana has Great Tejhas (shining with dazzling radiance of Aura) ; in Virtues and Parakram he is like his brother ; Great Warrior; He has Limitless Love and Devotion to Rama; he can’t be won over by Enemies; he has immense Rosham (Ego, Pride, Honour, Self Respect) ; Intelligent; Strong ; he is very dear to Rama as his own alter ego (Life force) ; he is his right hand and serves Rama.
Rama has a wife named Sita. She has wide eyes. She has facial beauty which makes Full Moon shy; She observes the Dharma which Rama adheres. Rama has boundless Affection for Her; She also has same amount of affection for him; She has beautiful Hair and well formed Nose; She is matchless in beauty; Owing to these She has earned Fame; She is Like the Forest Deity and Lakshmi (Consort of Maha Vishnu).She has the complexion of Pure melted Gold; slightly elevated beautiful nails; slender waist; Devas (Celestials), Yaksha, Gandharva (Musicians), Uraga (Fortune telling angels) Human or any other World I have not seen such an echanting beauty; Whoever is Sita’s Husband he is Blessed and he is above all Men. Even if she does not hug someone, just her presence near by itself is enough. One will get the pleasure of being her husband in a worldly way. Even if she is not married to one, just mere hugging her with affection will confer a Man the pleasure of being more than Indra’s (Lord of Celestial) luxuries. She is of pure conduct. She is of matchless beauty; She is suitable wife for you; you too is suitable Lord for her. She who is beautiful in every Limb of her body, I tried to bring her for you, But cruel Lakshamana caused me this Alangolam (dishevelling) and reduced me to this status of being with No ears and the Nose cut. If you once see that Sita who abjures the beauty of Full Moon, you will be a prey to Arrows of Manmadha (God of Love) viz you will fall in insatiable love.If you have the desire to make her your wife, start now. To ensure victory put your right foot forward. The Rakshasaas who were after all killed by this Rama, please them at least now after their death. With your Arrows kill Rama Lakshmana and enjoy orphaned Sita the way you desire. If you feel my words are apt, you do so accordingly ; do not doubt it. Knowing your strength, forcibly bring the world’s Beautiful woman to become your wife. Remember that Kara Dhooshana and the Rakshaas were killed by Rama’s Bhanas; then what you feel is apt.(Slokas 28)
