Ravana Requests Sita
Who has Rama as her Husband and worships as her God, Due to separation from him, she is aching for him now and thus Sita was unhappy ,Ravana wanted to lure her, to consent to his advances with Honey like words, thus he expressed his intetions.She is a Great Pathivratha( pure pristine and Noblest, Chaste, Loving, Humble dotting Wife not falling prey to Fame, Money or Power); who with Her power of penance can destroy all the worlds.
“Hey Lady who has thighs like Elephant’s Trunk ! the moment you saw me you have hidden your stomach and Breasts , probably you do not want to be seen by my Eyes, Hey Lady with large Eyes! Hey bewitching damsel of Beauty, who steals the Hearts of all the Living beings! I have vested my Desire on you, Please have mercy on me, Why are you afraid of me? Here Humans or those Rakshasaas who can disguise the way they want ,none are there who can scare you. It is the Rightful Dharma of Rakshasaas to forcibly bring other’s wives and mingle with them, is there any dobut on this? Despite insatiable desires raise in my Manam{ Chitha(Memory)+Inner Conscience Mind +Intellect(Bhuddhi) +Ego}, I will not touch until such time you have developed affection towards me. Hey Beautiful ! is there any fear in this place for you? Believe me: May true Love emanate in you for me. Do not spoil your health giving room to unnecessary anguish.
The beautiful hair you have braided nicely and hanging in single column., sleeping in barren land; wearing a single dirty garment, and fasting without reason does not behove of you. Make me as your husband and have the best of Flowers,Sandalwood paste, and unique Dresses,and perfumes such as Akil and incense sticks , Beds and Sofas . Enjoy the Dance, Songs and Musical instruments and best of the Cusine and Beverages you can. Hey Crowning Gem of Feminity ! Shouldn’t you not adorn appropriate Ornaments in your Limbs of Chaste features on your beautiful Body of exquisite proportions ? After joining me how will you be worthy of not decorating yourself? Just like the water flowing in the River will not return ,similarly your Youth will fade very quickly. Before that reach me and stay with Sukham(Comfort, Luxury, Joy, Fun,Cheer, Love, Affection and fulfilled Desires).
“Brahma(God of Creations) who is cause of all creations of the Universe, after he created you seems to have thought “Hereafter I cannot create any one, more beautiful than this woman” saying this he seems to have left his job. This is evidenced by non exixtance of any woman of your exquisite beauty. Will there be any one who will not fall for me when I am immersed in your efferevesence of beauty and youthful exuberance. ? There is no doubt that even the Brahma who chiselled you, will fall in Love with you. Hey Damsel having the Face like Full Moon ! I am not able to wean away my Eye from any part of your body when I feast on it. Sita! You attain em as your Husband. Why this ignorance in you? You be the Royaal Queen fo all those Beauties I have brought from all parts of the world. May all auspicious things be showered on you. When I invaded parading the universe I have brought the Apoorva(rarest, not easily available or seen,only one of it's kind)materials from those respective worlds. They and myself and this Lanka puri is all yours. Fore your sake I will win all the countries and give it as a present to your father Great King Janaka.
Is there any one like me in strength, Valour , Vitality and Courage? Beating the Devas(Celestials) and Asuras(Demons) often in battle , having decimated their Army cut of their Flags and Staffs, I have chased them so that can’t stand me. May Damsels worthy of your beauty adorn you with Exquisite Ornamanets and beautiful dresses. , seeing that I wil get immeasurable Bliss. What ever things are here be it Dresses, Jewellery, Wines, whisky, Meat, Furintures, Vehicles,and what all other things you may desire enjoy them the way you want.You can give in Charity Land and Wealth without any inihibition or restraint to whom so ever you want to give.All that fall in your Eyesight are your slaves; you can as per you desire control/Govern them. Please shower on me intense intrinsic Love. Through you, your relations may get my blessings and attain their well being.
Look intensely my Welath,Money, Fame. Having no Dress to wear , no food to eat , no place to sleep, and loitering like a Nomad what is the use of Rama for you? Is a person who observes Fast and has diet restrictions like Saints, wearing Maravuri(Dresses made of wooden Barks/Leaves) and Deer skin, sleeping on barren Ground, and wandering with Animals in the Forest does he behove of your worthiness? Both Rajalaskhmi(Goddess of Kingdom) and Jaya Lakshmi have forsaken him.Is he still alive or not? During Monsson the storks in many groups cannot see the Hidden Moon behind the Dairy Clouds , similarly can Rama see you when you have been brought and kept here? Like Indra got back his wife whom Hiranya kashipu abducted Rama can never get you back by any means.
Like the Great Serpent caught by Garuda(Eagle), Your Eyes , Rows of Teeth,Your bewitching Smile, Your mesmerising Prowess seeing them my Heart swoons. Your wearing the dirty silken dress , with lean body caused by continuous fasting, bereft of ornament has lost it’s Lusture.After seeing you I do not have the inclination to enjoy my other wives.I have many a Crowing jewlles of Ladies in my harem.You are ther Lordess of them all.Like the Angels serves Mahalakshmis , the Ladies who are famous in thei worlds let them serve you. All the Khubera’s wealth and all the Gems in the world will be at your command. Are there any restrictions to enjoy these to your heart’s content? Will Rama be a match to me either in Penance, Physical Strength, Valiant Prowess and Prathaapa(Glory, Fame,Greatness)? Drink the choicest of Drinks/Beverages,; Play as you want in the Forest and Garden; Enjoy all the Luxuries here; I have herein given you the Wealth in this Land;. Please Play with my as per my desire. Your relations may join you and let them enjoy the Luxuries;Cast aside your fear; Adorn yourself with all the ornaments, decorate yourself with many types of Flowers and Enjoy with me in Bliss in these Forest which are full of Trees having varierty of Flowers with the Bees humming around them and thus spend your Time.” beseeched Ravana.(Slokas 36)
