In the Padma Purana,
See the peaks of the Agara mountain, the Chaitya Kuta, the ocean, and the great rivers, and make yourself happy. ||41||
After that, Sita, whose throat was choked with tears, joined her hands with great difficulty and spoke to Ravana with a sorrowful voice, ||42||
"O Dasanan! If you have any affection for me, or if you are pleased with me, then you should be able to fulfill this request of mine. ||43||
Even if you are angry with Rama when he comes before you, you should not kill him without delivering my message. ||44||
Tell him, 'O Rama! Your sister, the daughter of the Bhāmaṇḍala, has sent this message for you: that in the battle against you, due to the power of karma, you will hear something else. The daughter of the great sage Janaka, Sita, overwhelmed by the weight of great sorrow, has become like the flame of a lamp struck by the wind, and has been reduced to a deplorable state. O Lord! I have not given up my life until now, only because of my longing for your arrival.' ||45-47||
Having said this, she fainted and fell to the ground with her eyes closed, like a golden Kalpa tree broken by a maddened elephant. ||48||
Seeing Sita in such a state, Ravana, whose heart was tender, became extremely sorrowful and began to think: "Alas! This affection of theirs is an unquenchable affection, caused by the bonds of karma. It seems that they will never be released from this worldly pit." ||49-50||
"I curse myself again and again! What a despicable act I have done! I have separated this couple who were united in love. ||51||
I am a great sinner! Without any purpose, I have acquired the dirt of disgrace from the righteous, like an ordinary man. ||52||
I, a wicked man, have defiled the pure and vast lineage like a lotus. Alas! How did I commit this act? ||53||
Curse this woman who instantly kills great men, who is like a Kimpaka fruit, and who is the source of suffering for the earth. ||54||
A woman in general,
1. Sita. 2. Unquenchable affection. 3. Burning.
