Chapter – 28– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Aranya Kanda– The moment a person attempts to commit an unpleasant deed, his courage and good sense will disappear

 

The deities showered flowers on Rama and eulogized his mercy “Lord of Raghu is Dheenabandhu, benevolent to his ardent devotees as well to his enemies. The demon Mareecha who shot dead with the arrows of Prabhu Sri Ramachandra attained liberation from worldly existence.” While Rama began to return to the hermitage, Devi Sita heard a loud cry of Rama calling for Lakshman, she was horrified and ordered Lakshman “Go quickly, your brother is in trouble.” Lakshman spoke calmly “Oh! Mother, the whole creation and destruction of the Universe takes place at the will of the Lord, mere movements of his brows create and destroys the animate and inanimate in the Universe, how could he get into trouble?” Later the bitter words heard from Devi Sita made him rush to the place where Rama called for help, leaving Devi Sita behind, in the protection of the deities of ten quarters. It was Lord Hari’s will Lakshman was forced to leave Devi Sita all alone, in the meantime, the ten-headed Ravana waiting for his opportunity to abduct Devi Sita like the Rahu causes affliction to the moon. Ravana who causes terror among the deities and demons, whose name ceases them to sleep or eat during night and day, disguised as a Jogi/Yogi/Thapasvi and approached Devi Sita looking around like a thief. Sage Kakabusundi speaks “Oh! Garuda, the moment a person attempts for the vile and deceitful act, his good sense and courage will leave him. Ravana described various attractive stories to Devi Sita, and his knowledge of political wisdom finally made an attempt to threaten her to love him. Devi Sita retorted “Oh! Holy man, you are talking like a villain.” Ravana quickly assumed his real form and introduced her, Devi Sita was terrified, she managed to gather some courage and shrieked “Oh! King of demons, stay away from me, my Lord will be here at any moment, you have invited your own destruction by falling for me like the hare desired to get married to the lioness.” Ravana could not control his anger listening to the sharp words of Devi Sita, though he wanted to adore the lotus feet of Jagamba Paramba Bhagavathi Devi Sita”.
