Sita’s Wise Counsell
When Cruel Ravana spoke like this Sita got anguished with feeble voice spoke slowly replied him. Suffering due to being away from her Husband, and thinking of him and crying all the time was terrified of the Wicked Ravana.; but Contantly thinking of Rama all the time, she has been submitting herself in her husband’s feet with unwavering devotion mentally upholding Pathrivratha Dharma,she Pinched off a Piece of Straw and put it in between and Her and Ravana thinking of his ignorance, smiling within herself she replied him,
“Ravana ! Please remove the desire you have misplaced on me, and if you place it on Your wives it will be justified. Will a great Sinner get Moksham (Salvation)? I am born in the Lineage of BrahmaGyanis(Sages who know God and Universe) of Kings of Vidheha, and entered in marriage in a stainless family of Sun Clan as a daughter in Law, and got Lord of the Universe Rama as my Husband, and I had not thought of another Man even in my dreams, will I commit a crime even an indecent Human will ridicule , would I ever dare ? “ thus She did Alakshyam(Contempt, indifference, Ignoring, not bothered, care too hoots, abhore, contemptuous,with disdain)and said further “ I am Pathivratha; iam another man’s Wife; not a wife who can be bought; Please observe the Dharma and culture ,which Pious observe. In this I will tell keeping you as an example,; Aren’t you protecting your wives so much that , they are not even seen by Other Men? Similarly other Husbands also protecting their wife isn’t it justified?
Your wives have immense Affection towards you, and are ready to carry out every desire of yours ,Can you not enjoy with them as per your desire ?Any person who is not satisfied with his Wives, overcome with Lust and not controlling his Indriyas
chases other’s wife , though at that moment it may appear proper and to his liking, finally his Life Span, Wealth, His Aura , Wife and Children, his ultimate Destiny of a Noble World all will get Decimated .** ( Thus Sita has given the Phrophetic Verdict on Ravana in a Subtle way)
Don’t you have in this country Pious people who are your well wishers and who can counsel you what is in your Hitham ( Palatable,Soothing counsel - in the interest/Good of You- well meant) interest? Aren’t there people to stop you from wrongful acts? I should not say because there are people like Vibhishana, Akampana, Malyavaan. Haven’t you done service to them and heard Dharam from them?If you ask “ Afterall you came yesterday, How do you know about them? “, ‘ Your Intellect going int the Opposite direction isn’t it an evidence by itself? . If You ask ‘ Without knowing explicitly the thoughts of others, How come you knew my thoughts?’ Your behavior which is despicable by the Pious is a witness. Is your conduct will destroy you alone? Won’t it root out all the Rakshasaas surrounding you? You show as though you are the best benefactor of them all. But your thoughts want to decimate them hence you are abhorring the same advise of the sane & Pious. The foolish King of Lesser Intellect who has desire for Unjustifiable things the Kingdom he has attained, it’s People,(Wealth) 16 selvams are as follows
1. Education- Knowledge which does not dissipate
2. Age- Age that does not reduce(Death only at appointed time)
3. Friendship- Friendship with no cunningness ever
4. Prosperity -Ever growing Wealth
5. Youth- Ever Youthful
6. Physique- Desease free Body
7. Mind- Stead fast Mind(ever Enthusiastic, never get fed up)
8. Wife/Husband - whose Love should never dither
9. Patience / Perseverance- Son/Daughter who will never falter
10.Popularity- Fame which will never go down
11.Truthfulness- Keep up my words
12.charitableness -Do Charity uninterruptted
13.Fund- Wealth should never be Lost
14.Management- Up right in my Duty
15.Life -Life without sorrow
16.Love- My Love unto your Lotus Feet forever & Friemdhsip with Your blessed Devotees
all will be destroyed. So with you so Focussed on unpardonable sin, solely because of you This city of Lanka which has all types of total Wealth,and the countless people Living here are going to be decimated. Without analyzing, committing the grave Sinful crimes and the People who are destroyed consequently all other Living beings will be elated(for the punishment metted out). Similarly the Great Sinner you are , the subjects who have been deceited by you will say “ Cruel Ravana has been destroyed by God’s blessings” thus they will be happily speaking amongst one another.
All Your Wealth and Money do all of these matter a wee bit to me? You are trying to Lure me with them ! Being a Chief of your Wives in the Queen’s Chambers is it of great significane to me? In order to bestow all the worlds Auspiciousness and Blessings Maha Vishnu who is born in Raghu clan , can you separate me from him? The Clan he is born , I Maha Lakshmi also taken birth in the same clan. Can any one separate the Radiance from the Sun? I am bound by Rama.Have you forgotten what Mareecha told you ,that the Duaghter of King Janaka she is the wife of Rama , and his Aura is Limitless? Brahma and all the Diteies who have prayed to obtain their positions that Lord of the Universe ; his right hand I have attained and has been hugged by him, and have kept that right Arm as a Pillow and slept , with his blessings I have received all Luxuries and enjoyed them, after all unknown entity Like you who is a mere Rakshasaa in your arm will I rest my head and sleep? A Brahma Gyani (Sage who knew God & the Entire universe) who has observed greatest of Fastings, and finally attained the ultimate Wisdom is worthy the knowledge Form attained through Practice of Yoga ; Similarly Rama who is Maha Vishnu am I (Maha Lakshmi) not the rightful worthy Wife? Ravana ! I am not worthy of being anybody else’s wife; I can not live without being separated from him; Hence in the Forest the Male Elephant which has been separated from it’s youthful Female Elephant is to be joined with the partner; so also you pray to Rama, bring him here return me back to him.
Ravana ! Even thief has to steal by walking on the ground ; hence if you desire to live it is better you make friendship with him, is appropriate.If you think ‘ Instead of surrendering to my Enemy, it is better I forsake my Life’ then also you have to attain him only. Do you think he will allow you to Die comfortably? He will keep you alive , in your very presence he will destroy all your sons, Lineage,, People, Army, then he will torture you and kill you. Hence you surrender to him.If you think, ‘even if I do this what is the surety he will protect me?’ That great Man will forgive for all the heinious acts you have done , he will consider your surrendering to him as greater He will showere on you all the auspicious things.So find ways to quench his Anger. I will also support and plead with him on yourbehalf. . The Love he has for those who surrender to him is Limitless. With no guile in Heart if you return me to him , his anger will subside.
If you do not do this, you will attain Gory death. You may escape from Indra’s Vajhrayudha or even Kala Dhandum (Bludgeon staff used to take Life away at the time of Death , indicating Life span is over) of Yama . Rama who is the Lord of all the worlds if he gets angry, will he spare you? Like the Thunder’s roar used by Indra , You will soon hear the revereberations of Vibrations emanating from pulling the strings of his Kothandam(Bow).The Bhanas(Arrows with Feathers) shot by Rama Lakshmana will fall like Serpents coughing out the burning infernos. You will see that those Arrows have been decorated with beautiful Eagles Feathers will fall in this Lankapuri leaving no gap and will decimate Rakshasaas in Billions.
Like Garuda the King of Eagle plucks the Serpents and goes , the Great Serpent Rama will annihilate the Rakshasaas . In earlier times Maha Vishnu measured the entire Universe with his 3 Large Gaint Foot steps, and took away the Fame from Asuras, very soon My husband will kill you and take me away.In 1 Muhurtham time( 1 ½ hours) he killed 14,000 Rakshasaas in Jhanasthana afraid of this , You hapless fellow you chosen opportune moment when they were not in the Ashram , without fighting and winning over them ,you deceitly brought me. Where there is odour of tiger can a Dog be present there? Can you even stand wind blowing from the direction of those two Male Human Lions ? Can you escape after being sighted by them? In earlier days Could Vridhasura with one hand battle with Indra who had 2 giant Hands? Similarly how you alone can you fight with them in battle and be Victorious? Is there any Doubt of your Death? Just like how the Sun’s rays will evaporate the small quantity of water like wise My husband and Laskhmana will steal away your Praanan(-Life force, Last Breathe, that without which causes Physical and medical Death).Try hiding in Khubera’s Kailash; the Lord Param Siva whom you worship is also there. Or try hiding in Varuna’s throne. Rama’s Bhanas will chase you there as well and torture you, Has the Tree whose Death is imminent ever escaped Indra’s Thunder?(Slokas 34)
