218
In the Padmapurana, if a person has a form like Sanatkumar, even then, like the cracked glass, I do not desire any other man but my husband in any way. ||85|| I speak to you in brief about all those present here. I will not do what you wish; do as you will. ||86|| In this interval, the ten-headed one (Dashanana) himself arrived, like an elephant reaching the Ganges. ||87|| He then, having come closer, spoke with great compassion and a somewhat smiling demeanor, addressing the lovely lady: "Do not be afraid, I am your devotee. Listen, I have one request: please be gracious and consider me!" ||88|| I wish to know what I, being devoid of anything in the three worlds, am unworthy of being accepted by you as your supreme husband. ||90|| Saying this, Ravana attempted to touch (her), but Sita, in urgency, said: "O sinful-hearted one! Get away, do not touch my body!" ||9|| In response, Ravana said: "O goddess! Set aside your anger and pride, be pleased, and become the mistress of divine pleasures like the queen of the Indras!" ||92|| Sita replied: "The riches of a base man are nothing but filth, and the poverty of a virtuous man is indeed an ornament." ||93|| For those born in a noble family, it is better to seek refuge in death by losing virtue than to act against both worlds. ||94|| You wish for another woman, therefore your life is in vain. Truly, one who lives while guarding the fire survives. ||95|| Thus insulted, Ravana soon became eager to use magic. All the goddesses, frightened, fled, and everything there became filled with turmoil. ||26|| In the meanwhile, the sun entered the cave of the western horizon along with its rays as if it was also entering due to the fear of Ravana's illusion. ||17|| Terrified by those elephants, who were filled with great anger, their tusks dripping, and who were trumpeting greatly, Sita was still drawn to Ravana's shelter.
