Ravana keeps Sita in Lanka
When Sita was being taken like an orphan by Ravana, Sita saw 5 great Monkeys were sitting on top of a peak of a hillock and thought “ will they not inform Rama by chance of the travails that has befallen me?” , She removed some of her gold Ornaments she tied it to a small piece of cloth she dropped in their midst. Ravana in his anxiety did not notice it. Those great Monkeys who had yellow colour Eyes saw Sita who was screaming and crying loudly without batting an eye lid.
Until they crossed the Lake Pampa, Ravana was looking in the direction of Ashrama wondering “ Are Rama Lakshamana following me?” not seeing them he became happy and became more courageous and went very fast towards Lanka. Like taking on one’s Lap the most venomous Posionous serpent; his own Death in the form of Sita, he took her home forcibly.Crossing Forest, Rivers, Lakes, Mountains , like the speed of an Arrow shot from the Bow he went fast , corssed the Bay of Bengal sea wich was infested with Whales, Sharks, Crocodiles etc . The Sea which is the fulcrum of all Rivers was scared and subdued it’s waves ,even the Fish and Serpents hid themselves( Behold such was Ravana’s cruelty!) Those saintly Sidha charanas who traverse in the skies said “ Ravana ! this is the end for your Life span” .Dasamukha (10 headed Ravana) took Sita ,as She ,who has come in the form of his own Death and entered Lanka. Crossing broad Streets and muti storyed Buldings and the populous places went to Queens Chambers. Earlier Mayan created a cave where an apsara Swayam prabha was kept , kept Sita who swooned due to fear and sorrow in his Palace.
Then he summoned the Pishacha(Ghostly) faced Rakshsasi’s “ I am entrusting her in your custody. Male or female should not see her without my consent. All that Upachaaram (Extend Courtsies-Civilities-vidhipadi –Portocol offered him Roots/Fruits and did civilites of Prayers accorded those days) and Service you give to me should be given to Her also Gems , Gold Ornaments and whatever she asks for should be given forthwith. Knowingly or unknowingly if you do anything that displeases her, I will kill you in that very instant.” Thus he ordered sternly.
Then he came out of the Chambers and while he was thinking what other balance work needs to be done , Great warriors, cruel and Fearless to anything 8 Rakshasaas were standing in front of him. Arrongant due to the Boons granted by Brahma(God of Creation of Earthlings), he praised their Strength and Valour “ You go duly armed to the Jhanasthana quickly, Don’t you that know Kara Dhooshanas were staying there ? They and the Army of Rakshasaas were killed by Rama. I am having un abatable anger towards Rama. I am searching for a suitable opportune moment to take a sweet revenge. Unless I kill him in a battle I will not sleep. After killing the great Sinner who killed Kara Dhooshana I will be happy as the Great Poverty stricken person finds a Treasure. You go and stay there. Do not fear. Your Valour and tactics is enough. Closely watch Rama and keep feeding me information on his whereabouts and activites . Be careful and alert. Don’t get Cheated. Wait for an opportune moment to kill Rama. what will we do in that place where Kara Dhooshana have been decimated? thus you need not worry. In many instances of Battles I have seen your Strength,Valour and Courage, hence you are the capable people who can go to Jhanasthana and accomplish the task, with this trust , I am sending you there.” Said Ravana. Those 8 Rakshasaas were immensely pleased on their King praising them , with their magical powers they went to Jhanastahana being invicble .
Thus Ravana stole Sita from Rama’s ashrama overcome by Lust with his intellect & Rationale failing him and despite earning enmity of Rama was without any care and was ecstatic.(Slokas30)
