Padma Purana
This one birth is painful for you, separated from me. But losing right faith will cause you pain birth after birth. ||41||
For a human, treasures, women, and vehicles are easy to obtain in this world. But the jewel of right faith is more difficult to obtain than even an empire. ||42||
If you commit sins in the kingdom, your fall into hell is certain. But if right faith is with you, you will ascend to heaven by its power alone. ||43||
He whose soul is adorned with the jewel of right faith, attains fulfillment in both worlds. ||44||
Hearing this message from Sita, whose heart is filled with love, whose mind is firm, whose spirit is unwavering, what noble man would not be inspired? ||45||
Those who are naturally timid, become even more fearful when faced with other fears. But even men are terrified by fierce and terrible horrors. The meaning is that the terrible horrors that Sita, who is naturally timid, faces, are not faced by men. ||46||
Oh God! Where there are groups of extremely bright, wicked, and violent creatures that terrify even Yama, where elephants trapped in the mud of a half-dry pond are roaring, where groups of cows are suffering, their tails entangled in thorny bushes, where groups of deer are running frantically, believing in the mirage of water, where monkeys are extremely restless, their bodies covered in dust from the dust of the wind, where bears are roaring, their faces covered with long, tangled hair, where groups of wolves, thirsty and suffering, are sticking out their tongues like leaves, where snakes are enraged by the cracking of gumchi pods and the falling of their seeds, where creatures seeking shelter in trees are crying out in fear that the trees might break and fall on them due to the strong wind, where dust and leaves are flying up in the air, created by a sudden gust of wind, where many trees are broken by the movement of large pythons, where terrible creatures are destroyed by the enraged, intoxicated elephants, where the ground is hard, in the middle of ponds dug by groups of boars, where the ground is covered with thorns, pebbles, thorny bushes, and mounds of earth, where the juice of flowers is flowing,
