Padma Purana
This word indicates the intense trembling of her body, born from grief, which carries the burden of sorrow. ||113|| Hearing these words, Sita cried even louder. Indeed, grief increases in the presence of the virtuous. ||114|| With tear-filled eyes, she uttered these words, her voice choked with emotion: "Oh, my dear brother, who are you, that you ask me with such affection?" ||115|| "I am Sita, the daughter of King Janaka, the sister of the Bhāmaṇḍala, the wife of Kakutstha, and the daughter-in-law of Dasharatha." ||116|| "While my husband went to inquire about your well-being, this wicked-hearted one abducted me, taking advantage of a weakness. ||117|| "Oh, brother, please take me to Rama quickly, before he gives up his life, separated from me." ||118|| Hearing these words, Vibhīshaṇa's heart burned with anger. Then, with humility and love for his elder brother, he said: "Brother, how could you, blinded by delusion, bring this woman, who is like a venomous serpent, a source of fear and danger?" ||119-120|| "Oh, master, though I am of childish intellect, please listen to my plea. You have granted me the favor of speaking my mind." ||121|| "Oh, master of Dharma, the entire world is enveloped in the network of your glorious deeds, like vines. Do not let the fire of disgrace consume it. Be pleased." ||122|| "This desire for another man's wife is wrong, extremely terrible, shameful, repulsive, and destructive of both worlds." ||123|| "The condemnation that is received from all the virtuous is capable of breaking the hearts of the compassionate. ||124|| "You, who know all the rules of Dharma, the lord of the Vidyadharas, why are you holding this burning ember in your heart?" ||125|| "Whoever indulges in the sin of another man's wife, enters hell just as a piece of iron sinks into water." ||126||
