Devi Sita who was seated under the huge Shimshumpa tree, the head was hung down, staring at her feet, contemplating upon the lotus feet of her beloved Lord Sri Ramachandra. Hanuman felt extremely saddened watching the miserable state of Mother Devi Sita. He has taken a seat on the branch of the Shimshupa tree, covered himself under the cluster of leaves which has golden colored, he was engaged in various thoughts “What would I do to remove the grief of Mother Devi Sita?” At that very moment, it was the dark hours of the night Ravana arrived in Ashoka Vatika adorned in magnificent clothes and ornaments all over the body, he was accompanied by several female attendants and the queens. The wretched Ravana, approached Devi Sita with his tricky and friendly advice and threats, he tried to persuade Devi Sita in many ways were become fruitless. Ravana spoke haughtily “Oh! Sunayani, Oh! Sukmukhi, I promise you, I shall appoint Devi Mandodhari and the rest of the queens as your servants, if you give a glance at me.” Devi Sita got annoyed and plucked grass from the ground and threw it before him, contemplating upon the lotus feet of Rama, the daughter of King Vidheha began to speak “Oh! Dhashanan, listen to me carefully, a lotus flower can’t bloom in the light of a firefly, think over it again and again. Perhaps, you have no knowledge about the powerful arrows of Rama, Oh! Pathetic one, you are shameless, when you have abducted me, there was no one around me, yet you did not feel ashamed of your mischief.”
