## Padma Purana
When people sought advice from Ramachandraji on this matter, he clearly stated that how could it be right to commit such a misdeed against someone who has taken vows and is seated in a Jain temple. "Rama is a great soul, he will not indulge in unrighteousness," convinced of this, the Vidhyadhar king himself did not go, but he sent his sons to Lanka to cause trouble. The sons created havoc in Lanka, causing the Lankans to be terrified and seek refuge in Ravana, who was seated in the Jain temple. However, Ravana was engrossed in meditation. The people were terrified, so the presiding deities of the Jain temple, through their power of reaction, stopped the sons. On the other hand, in Ramachandraji's camp, the presiding deities of the Jain temples fought with the presiding deities of Ravana's peaceful Jain temples, trying to stop them. Subsequently, two Yaksha kings named Purnabhadra and Manibhadra, came to Ravana's aid, stopped the sons, drove them away, and rebuked Ramachandraji for their misdeeds. Sugriva explained the truth and calmed them down by performing an Aryaavataran. Later, at Lakshmana's request, both Yakshas agreed that they would not cause any harm to the city dwellers, but would try to distract Ravana from his meditation.

Even when Angad caused various disturbances, Ravana did not deviate from his meditation, and at that very moment, he mastered the art of transformation. Seeing Ravana master the art, Angad and others flew back to Ramachandraji's army through the sky.

**Seventy-second Chapter** Ravana's eighteen thousand wives, having been harassed by Angad, went to Ravana and expressed their grief. Ravana comforted them. The next day, Ravana entered the pleasure garden with great joy. The Vidhyadharis, seated near Sita, tried to attract her towards Ravana. Seeing Ravana's strength, Sita lamented her misfortune. Ravana wanted to attract Sita towards him with fear and affection, but Sita said to Ravana, "O Dashaanan! Before you shoot arrows in the battle, tell Rama this message from me: without you, the sister of the universe has died a slow death..." and fainted. Seeing the strong bond of love between Sita and Rama, Ravana regretted his actions, but due to the excitement of the battle, his regret vanished, and he firmly decided to fight.
