Sita chides Ravana
Hearing these words Sita was not at all scared. It is not proper to talk to another man for the Pathivratha( pure pristine and Noblest, Chaste, Loving, Humble dotting Wife not falling prey to Fame, Money or Power)Lady hence she put a blade of grass in between them and expressed her feelings of grief in her Heart. “ There was a King named Dasaratha .He was a Sathyasandhar(Truth abiding). He used to implement Dharma. He has a son named Rama. He is famous in all the worlds. He has broad wide Eyes, has a long Arms stretching upto knees, has the shoulders like Lion. He has an aura shedding illuminence all around and Dharamthma. He is God for all the worlds. He is my Husband. Thus I have joined in a Pure family,and having got a Greatest human as my husband will I do Adharma? He and his brother Lakshmana both have been born in Ikshwaku clan specifically to kill you. So I do not have any fear towards you. Why I am keeping quite now is , if you had brought me in his presence, Like Kara lost his Life in Jhanasthana you would also have been killed and would have been lying dead on the ground. Gory Form Rakshasaas who are strong people would have been shivering when they see Rama ;like Snakes shiver when they see Garuda the Eagle. Like the waves hit the Banks of Ganges the Sharp Arrows emanating from the Golden banded Bow would have been piercing your body. So far you have not been killed by Celestials or Asuras(Demons); now that you have earned enmity with Rama you will not escape death. Will the Goat tied to the pole in Battle field escape? Great Strong Rama ‘ He is the Kalan(God of death) who has come to take your Life’, If he sees you with Anger, that very moment you will turn into ashes. He has capability to hit and push Sun & Moon from sky; may be destroy them as well, He may dry the ocean as well. Will he remain without relieving Sita from you? Your Life Span, Wealth, Strength all that are now destroyed. Because of you Lanka without the Lord has been widowed.
I was Living with my Husband and you forcibly brought me here. Did you think that this Sin will confer you Sukham(Comfort, Luxury, Joy, Fun,Cheer, Love, Affection and fulfilled Desires)? You asked me ‘ What that Puny hapless Rama who came running to Forest can do to me’ He has the Strength of God ; he has Dazzling Aura; Sinless; or else will he reside in this Dhandakaaranya which is infested with Scoundrels, Scalawags Rakshasaas with Wild Animals ? By his shower of Arrows your Pride, Strength, Valour,Arrogance, Tyranniny, Villany will be decimated. When Death nears, the Animals perform spiritually unconducive activities. Time has come for You, Your Rakshasaas and those related to them, to be destroyed, that is why it occurred to You to bring me forcibly here. When the Yaaga (Offerings to Celestials in the Sacrifical Fire Pits reciting Vedas and the Verses invoking the respective Dieties ) the stage which is spread with Kushal grass,Vessles, Homa Kunda ( sacrificial offering in Fire pits to Gods, ) and cleaned with recitation of God’s Chantings ,can any Chandaal (Caretaker) ever near it? Rama is like the Yagnya Purusha (Apostle Saint) who abides by Truth always; I who is adorned by his Affection and Protected by his Prowess is the Agni Kundam ( Sacrificial Fire Pit); You are the Chandall (Caretaker in cemetry) can you near me? .**(Sita when she died finally, the Earth opened up and she walked into it.So even Fire can’t touch her)The Queen Swan which is always playing with Kingly Swans in those Streams of Lotus, will it ever glance at the Grass marshy Land Stork? This body of mine which is not conscious wheter you tie it by rope ; guillotine by sword ; eat by biting. I do not worry about protecting my Body or Praanan(-Life force, Last Breathe,that without which causes Physical and medical Death). I will never earn the infamy “ scolded and spoke scornfully and just did Alakshyam(Contempt, indifference,Ignoring, not bothered, care too hoots,abhore,contemptuous) of Ravana by remaining Silent.
Hearing this Ravan was enraged with the intention to terrorise her said “ Seethay ! I will tell you something Please Listen. From today in the next 12 months you should have me as your husband. If not my Chefs will cut you into pieces and I will have you as breakfast.”thus he scolded. Then he lookd at Rakshaais with anger and said “ Destroy her pride and quickly make her take a liking to me. Without any one’s knowledge please keep her hidden in Ashoka Garden and protect her. By Fear and tact, like you tame an Elephant , tame her and entice her towards me” thus he ordered them. With Great Anger he stamped the Earth and went away from there. The Gory looking Rakshasis took Sita and kept her in Ashoka Garden.
That Ashoka garden at all times was filled with Flowers , Fruits and the drunken Birds immersed in their Honey. But Sita was like the Female Deer which was trapped amongst the Tigers was scared and with yearning , seeing their gory forms, was blank , She was always thinking of Rama who was her dearest Lord and most dear God.
