Sumukhi, you have no choice other than following my order or be ready to lose your life.” Devi Sita replied sternly “Oh! Wicked Dhashanan, listen to me, my beloved Lord Sri Ramachandra has lovely arms as the stem of blue lotus flower, and it is long as the trunk of an elephant, either that powerful arm of my Lord or your sword Chandhrahasa will have my neck, Oh! Fool, I am already besieged by extreme grief of separation from my beloved Lord Sri Ramachandra, take your sword and separate my head from the neck, so that I can get rid of the grief once for all.” Ravana could not control his anger rushed to Devi Sita was intervened by Devi Mandodhari, who is the daughter of the demon Maya, pacified her Lord with the sweet words.
