You will see your husband, the one who is the embodiment of the self, slain in battle by my lord, who is the embodiment of the most intense energy, in just a few days. ||117|| You, who have become favorable to a husband who delights in sin, will go to widowhood and will wail for a long time, bereft of your husband. ||118|| Thus, Mandodari, who was filled with extreme anger and whose lips trembled, was overcome with great distress. ||119|| Although Mandodari was one, she, along with her eighteen thousand co-wives, who were filled with confusion and whose bodies trembled with anger, were ready to kill Sita with their swift hands. At that time, she was severely insulting her with extremely cruel words. ||120-121|| At that time, Hanuman, adorned with Lakshmi and full of speed, stood up and stood in the midst of them all, like a mountain standing in the midst of rivers. ||122|| Hanuman stopped all those women, who were the cause of sorrow and who were ready to kill Sita, just as a physician stops pain. ||123|| Then, all those women, who were wicked in intent, who had struck the earth with their feet, and who had abandoned the respect for adornment, went to Ravana. ||124|| Then, Hanuman, who was of good nature, bowed to Sita with great respect and requested her to eat with kind words. ||125|| Sita, whose vow had been fulfilled, whose desire was pure, and whose mind knew the time and place, agreed to take food. ||126|| While making the request, Hanuman explained, "O Devi! This earth, along with the ocean, is under the rule of Ramadeva, so this food here is not worthy of being abandoned." ||127|| Thus, being explained by him, Sita, the land of compassion, desired to eat food, and rightly so, because she was a virtuous woman, skilled in all conduct. ||128|| Then, Hanuman told Ira, the protector of the clan, "Bring the best and praiseworthy food quickly." ||129|| Upon being told this, the girl went to her camp, and when the night ended and the sun rose, Hanuman met with Vibhishana. ||130|| 1. गतासि म. । 2. स्पृशम् म. ।
