Saramai consoles Sita
Sita was in anguish due to the Mystic Maya created by Ravana, her dear friend Saramai wife of Vibheeshana came by and with caressing words she pacified her. She was specifically appointed to take care of Janaki (Sita) and look after the welfare of her and make arrangements as and when what was needed. By nature she is Merciful. She is steadfast in her intellectual disposition; her Love is pure and unwavering. Seeing Sita distraught with mental agitation was like the Mare which is lying and sprawling on the ground and dust laden all over and was in sheer agony.Saramai took her in her arms caressed her, wiped her tears, “Child! Janaki! do not be Varutham (Upset, regret, perturbed, feel sorry, sad,pained, unhappy); shun grief; I have been hearing the words of Ravana and also your Laments. Due to the affinity I have for you, my heart melted. I hid myself in a Hole in the nearby tree. I left my fear for Ravana a bit. In your matter my Life is like a piece of straw.Can I keep quite when you are in anguish? (Will Ravana keep Vibheeshana’s wife as a guard for Sita? Even it be so, she should have ranaway afraid of Ravana. When Vibheeshana was in Lanka, Ravana had appointed Saramai as his confidente to look after the well fare of Sita. After Vibheeshana left Lanka, Saramai was afraid to hear Ravana’s Private conversation with Sita. Since Sita is like a Daughter in Law, through the servant maid he appointed Saramai. She is some other Rakshasi) feel some others.
I went outside and enquired why Ravana left. Even with out that Ravana was telling a Lie is evident. Is it possible to Kill Rama whether he is awake or Sleeping? Let it be so. Is it possible to deceive the Gyani (wise man of yore) like Rama? Can a Death like this happen to the Greatest Human on Earth? Are Vanaras ordinary people? Like Indra protects Devas, Rama is protecting Vanaras. Can the enemies even the stand fragrance of Rama and Vanaras. Also think about the Noble Virtues of Rama. Can such a destiny happen to Rama? One ho has Long huge Arms, with Limitless Aura, and his Physical features and his Majestic Chest. Prachanda Kothanda owner, in all worlds he is famous; he is Great Valorous; Lakshmana and all the accomplishes, who have sought has Charanam from Rama,he protects them like the Eye lashes gaurds the Eye; he is exponent of NeethiSashtras (Governiing Rules of Justice, Morality, Law, Righteousness); also capable in strategic war fare; can playfully destroy his enemies; Rama has unimaginable strength and Manliness; he is the Death of Enemies; Jayalakshmi (Goddess of Victory ) resides in him. For such a person can untimely Death occur?Ravana is a Mayaavi (Mystic / Sorceer and Magician / Hypnotic / exponent in deception with ability to vanish into thin air and appear in sky far away or nearby)par excellence; has cruel nature; he is enemy of every Living beings; Ravana is used this act of Deception asMayaavisince he has no qualms in adopting any means. Your Grief is gone now Sita; All auspicious Blessings will prevail on you; even the Victory is just awaiting; Let me tell the words which will increase your happiness; Please Listen “Rama has crossed the sea and sitting with Lakshmana in the sea shore; countless Vanara Army is protecting him. All his thoughts have fructified. This I have seen personally. The spies sent by Ravana have already conveyed to Ravana that the VanaraArmy is here with Rama Lakshmana. He is consulting with all his Ministers on this.
Then the Lion throated of the Lanka Army was heard. The War Drums being banged with Golden rods created revereberating sounds like The Dark clouds thunder clasps. Hearing them Saramai said “Child! this Drum sound indicated that the Rakshasaa army is getting ready for the war. Thye are decorating the Rogeu elephants with ornaments and seating etc. In the Chariots thorough bred Horses are beign mounted. Countless Horse warriors have mounted on pure breed horses and are celebrating that war has come. Foot soldiers duly armed are assembling in various places. Like the huge fast flowing rivers fall in the sea; Chariot, Elephant, Durakaduly adorned assembled in Boulevard in hordes. With shining weapons of armours , shields , Vests and the ChathurangaSena (4 Divisions of Army , comprising of 21,870 elephants, 21,870 chariots, 65,610 Horses, and 109,350 foot soldiers) were getting readied with decorations. .Like the Gutsy wind burns the Forest with Fire , all colours was Shining is everywhere. Sounds of Bells of Elephants, the sounds of the wheels of the Chariots, the neighing of Horses, are like music of an instrument. Can you hear them? The sound of the warriors accompanying Lord of Lanka duly armed and the war cry is profound and Hair raising in nature. The Jayalakshmi (Goddess of Victory) who erases all grief is supporting you. The days of decimation of Rakshasaas are nearing. ‘Jayalakshmi will never leave her grace on a Red eyed Rama’. Veeralakshmi (Goddess of Valor) is always with red Lotus petal eyed Rama. His Valorous Prowess is not only unfathomable but also unimaginable. Since he hasn’t seen Ravana in the Battel field he has not Rama is containing his Anger.Like Indra scourge of Asuras,he will slay Ravana and his Rakshasaas and take you away.In earlier times when Indra and Maha Vishnu decimated Dhaithyas, Your husband and Lakshmana will use their Valorous Prowess on Rakshasaas. After all enemies are destroyed, your aspirations are fulfilled, all my efforts in your matter will be fructified when you will be seated in full glory in Rama’s Lap and his face is blooming as well and I will be enjoing this Biss. You should be joining Rama soon and hugging him to your heart’s content and shedding your tears in his vast broad chest. This Long dirtied single braid of Hair, Rama will very soon unbraid them.
