Sita Ridicules Ravana
With Fiery Red Eyes caused by Anger and Crying with anghish and fear taking over Sita spoke to Ravana “ You have chosen a time when Rama Lakshmana are not there and you are taking me away. Lowly fellow ! Don’t you have shame? You got desire to take me isn’t it? why did you not dare to come near when they were around? You yourself created the Golden Deer with Magical Powers and I know very well that you got Rama Lakshmana move away from there. A friend of my Father in Law Jhatayu despite trying his best to save me was hit and killed with weapons. You had boasted about your Lineage, Gothra and Fame to me You are the one who waged Bttle with me(Lady) and won aren’t you a Great Warrior? What will I speak of your Valour? Abducting the Lady of another person , when her realtions are not there, you do not seem to have least bit shame left in you. This Izhivu (Despicable, Lowly, disgraceful act) action of yours The peopll will always call you Dhust (Scoundrel, bad, wicked, cruel, cunning, rascal,Villainous, devil,evil , nasty, heinious), Cruel, Greatest Sinner. Before Lifting me you had mentioned ;you can drink the ocean;you can stop Sun & Moon; and in many ways boasted of your Prowess, where have those Perumai(Pride, Fame, Greatness, Eminence, excessive achievment)gone now? Chee Chee ! are you also a Creature? What shall I speak of your Good Conduct which has brought in unerasable Avamanam (Slur, Ridicule, slander, Disgrace) on the Rakshasa Kula(Clan)? If you run away so fast what can be done to you? Stay put for atleast a Muhurtham(1 ½ hours or 90 Minutes). Let me see how are you alive then? After Rama Lakshamana sights you, the entire clan of Yours, You and Your Army may not survive even for 1 ½ hours. Can you stop the speed of their Arrows? When there is Fiery Forest Fire some birds fall prey to it can they escape? If you desire of your well being, please let me go.If you think deeply, you will realize what I am saying is in your Hitham (in the interest/Good of You- well meant -Palatable, Soothing counsel)only.If you do not release me , my Husband, and his brother will get Angry and will kill you only. You Lowly born ! with so much efforts & you are trying to Balavantha( coerce me forcibly with disdain ie scornful superiorty) . Won’t all your efforts go in vain? what else ? Will I survive without Rama who is like Devendra(Lord of Celestials)? Just like one whose Life span is reduced and eats dangerous Food without diet restrictions and Die; like wise you are unable to realize my sane words which will confer your Fame. Those whose Life is ebbing away they will even consternate sane words. Would I have tell that in your neck Kala Sarpum (Serpent or Laso ie Rope of death which ties it's Noose around Living beings at the time of their Death, when their Life span is over) has fallen as you are not able to Fear those heinous things, one should not even think of let alone do ? I think You are able to see the Golden colour Trees with Blood stream River Vaitharana and Dangerous Asibathra Forest . Are you able to see the Saalmali Tree embedded with Sharp pointed Iron Nails which have been heated Red Hot with fried Golden Flowers and Diamond Lupiz Lazuli leaves ; which has to be hugged by those who one has even aspired for another Lady or man’s spouse? Let us see when it comes; present Sukham (Happiness, comfort, pleasure, joy, fun, cheers) are all that matters Are you thinking so? How long will you survive once you become the cause for the great Soul Rama’s anger? Have you seen anyone who has Drunk the most venomous Poison and survived? My Husband has now bound you by Kala Pash (the invicible Noose of Death). No one can redeem you from that. Where will you go and find Kshema(well being ,Prosperity,innate happiness reflected in their Living)? Did you not see that my husbands Bhanas(Arrows ) took 14,000 Rakshasaas Along with Kara Dhooshana as it’s prey? How much time did it take him? Which vehicle was he mounted? Did Lakshmana go for his support? When that be the case when you usurp his Wife more dearer than his Life, will that Great Soul not make you a prey for his sharp Bhaanas(Arrows fitted with Feathers)? Are there any Missiles which is unknown to him? Can you measure his Strength and Valour? “ thus she condemned unequivocally and chided him while Lamneting all through the journey.
These sane words did not fall in the Sinner’s ears just as the sound is not heard in a sea shore. Despite these words which will make any one hearing his heart melt, but that scoundrel’s heart did not pay heed. Sita being afraid and tried in many ways to escape from him, but it did not work. Ravana was un concerned about her Anguish and took her very fast. (Slokas26)
