## Chapter 248
**Verse 57:** Thus spoken, the Vidyadevas, filled with joy, armed, and possessing great energy, adorned with various ornaments, and desirous of fame, flew in all ten directions.
**Verse 58:** Then, the Vidyadeva named Ratnajaati, son of Arkajaati, who wielded a sword, heard a sound of weeping from afar.
**Verse 59:** Following the sound of weeping, he reached the direction from where it came and heard in the sky above the ocean, "Oh Rama! Oh Kumar Lakshmana!"
**Verse 60:** Hearing this very clear sound of lament, he flew towards that place and saw a Vimana.
**Verse 61-62:** Seeing Sita, extremely distraught, lamenting atop the Vimana, he, filled with anger, said, "Stop! Stop, you wicked, vile, low Vidyadeva! Having committed such a crime, where do you think you are going now?
**Verse 63:** Oh foolish one! If you desire life, then quickly release the wife of Ramadeva and the sister of the Bhamandala."
**Verse 64:** Then, Ravana, filled with anger and with a disturbed mind, addressed Ratnajaati with harsh words, ready to fight.
**Verse 65-66:** Then, he thought, "If a battle ensues, I will not be able to see this distraught Sita, and in that state, she might meet her end. And even if I protect this frightened Sita, with my extremely troubled mind, I will not be able to kill this Vidyadeva, even though he is insignificant."
**Verse 67:** Thus, thinking, with his crown and upper garment loosened due to agitation, the powerful Ravana took away the Vidya of the aerial Ratnajaati.
**Verse 68:** Then, the frightened Ratnajaati, due to the effect of some mantra, fell slowly to the earth like a meteor.
**Verse 69:** Like a merchant whose ship has sunk, he, with the remaining essence of his life, reached the island called Kambu, situated in the middle of the ocean.
**Verse 70:** There, he sat still for a moment, then, with great effort, climbed the Kambu mountain and looked in all directions.
**Verse 54-56:** "Search diligently in all directions, in mountains, water, land, forests, or cities, wherever she might have been taken. Oh great warriors! Whatever you desire, I will grant it to you upon finding her."
