Ravana Threatens Sita
Sita who has the vision which confers on all Living creatures Bliss having spoken thus , Ravan unable to bear the Harsh words of Sita in Anger said “ In the World However much the husband tries to placate his wife in order to lure her with nice words, however much he pacifies her, For the wife have only haughtiness and Alakshyam (Contempt, indifference,Ignoring, not bothered, care too hoots, abhore, contemptuous,with disdain) towards her husband but do not get bound. Like the capable Charioteer/ Jockey who pacifies the running petrified Horse and controls it, My Love for you is subdueing my Anger,. See the Fate of Kama (Love/Lust) is contrary When we have affinity for a Person or Material our Love , Mercy only increases their faults and Fallacies dot not harbinger . So you have Love for Rama who is faking so I should disgrace you and kill you ; but my heart doesn’t allow that. For every harsh word you uttered , you need to be tortured. I had given you Time Limit of 12 Months only 2 months are left. If you do not join me by then , my Chefs, Cooks will torture and will bake you for my breakfast “ rorared like Thunder.
Hearing that the Seniorinas of Celestials, Gandharvas thinking of the agony they had previously suffered , they were reminded of the same and felt pity for Sita secretly they were murmuring “ Sita do not be afraid,What can this Alpa (Insignifican,Puny, small, ignorable, measly /meagre, trivial)do to you Sita? “ to convey this they Moved their Lips; some winked their eyes; some shook their heads; Noticing this Sita got emboldened , with her Pathivratha Dharma and Rama’s valourous Prowess Sita ignored him, once again she counselled him “ Ravana ! it is certain that there are no wise persons in your country who can course correct you from this wicked act of yours to Noble path. All are eating your Food and are treacherous do you in their thoughts.Iam like Indra’s wife Sasi Devi, will anyone except you ,will dare to desire me? After saying such words to the wife of Rama who is personification of Dharma where are you going to hide from that great Warrior? What is outome of Battle between Rogue Elephnat and the Rabbiit? Sri Rama is the Rogue Elephant; You are the measly creature Rabit. With Deceit you dragged him out of the Ashram(hermitage) and you dragged me and stole me Don’t you have shame? Oh My he did not see you for a single minute and you escaped!
Why did not your cruel Eyes without shame dared to seeing other’s wives with desire not fall on the Earth ? I am daughter in Law of Pious Emperor Dasaratha, Wife of Rama and one who has not even thought of other men to me; why has your tongue which spoke unholy words full of Lust, cut off and fall? Rama has not given me permission to curse those who do Aparadh (Unpardonable acts such as sin, misdemanour, delinquency, infraction, violation, crime, offence, guilt, lawbreaker, crime, outlaw, felony) to me. I observe the Pathivratha Dharma, so when my husband Is alive I will not dare to punish those, who are punishable. Hence even though you can be burnt to ashes with the Fire of my Anger , you have not yet been turned into Ashes.
Can any one wean me away from the great intelligent Rama my husband? I syour intention unknown to him? It is destined by fate that I will be the root cause of your Death, hence this has happened.Is there any doubt on this? So do not take pride that you have cleverly abducted me. You have earned the Name for having won may a battle; brother of Khubera; has countless Divisions of Army. When this be the case why did you abduct me when Rama and Lakshmana were absent?
Hearing Sita speaking like this Ravana was enraged with making his eye balls roll and saw Sita sternly. His body is like the Rain bearing Cloud; His arms were strong like the Moutain; his walking gait and strength was like the Muscled Lion; His Eyes and Tongue tip should be like the burning inferno; with Crown having tingling bells; Novel Garlands, Cosmetic, with Red Garments with pure gold made of Gold shoulder bandings,well adorned ; Like the Vasuki serpent was used as a Rope to sitr the Manthra mountain during Churning of the Ocean ,Ravana had a Blue colour Belt tied around his Hip;With his 2 huge arms like mini mountains he was shining . He was like the Mountain with Forest which had red Ashoka Trees having the best of Flwoers, tender leafs, 2 Ear lobe Ring balls were shining like the Rising Sun was adorning his Face, Though it was like Spring which has come in human form, though decorated in all aspects he was like the Tree in Cremation ground or Cemetry.He was ominous looking. With Angry Fiery red eyes was staring at Sita blandly, he was hissing like the 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) Ravana said “ Rama who has no Ethics and Discipline having lost everything and roaming around I will kill him just now as the Sun dispels darkness” he who makes Rakshsaas Kadhara ( Pleading,Yelling, Bellowing,screaming loudly, Exasperation) commanded the following to the protecting Gorly looking Rakshasis .
Ravana looked at them “ Rakshasis ! All of you have to ensure that she likes me very quickly. You can talk to her Anukool (In consancance with time/occasion- befitting and beneficial)or threaten and also use the 3 Ways of persatution, differentiation. If that is not also possible then use the physical Punsihemnt but get the job done and entice her to me.” thus commanding in Lust and outrage with task cut out mentally he threatened Sita often. Then his affectionate wife Dhanyamalini, came quickly to Ravana and hugged him and said “ King come and Let us enjoy. After all She is Human Lady; she doesn’t have desire for you; Her Face is white and attorcious to look at; what is the use of her to you? It is certain Brahma has not written in her forehead to enjoy the Luxuries of yours which has been earned by you with your Arms strength.When the Man who has a affection towards a woman, and if he doesn’t get reciprocated his body is Love lorn.Whereas if he Yearns for the Lady who has desire for him he will be immensely pleased. “ thus said Dhanyamalini. That great Strongman who was like Dark cloud , thus being pacified and drageed from that place , his Anger now subdued smiling he retunred from that place. Unabe to bear his walking gait, the earth trembled, he went to his Place which was Dazzling like the Sun.The Seniorinas of Celestials and Nagas followed him. Thus Ravana who was overcome with Lust thus threatened the Lady Sita who was intent on protecting the Pathrivratha Dharma and was trembleing due to fear and with stirred up Manam{ Chitha (Memory) +Inner Conscience Mind +Intellect(Bhuddhi) +Ego} entered his Palace.
