Ravana's abduction of Sita and the meeting of Rama with Viradha
We will read the second light of Yoga Shastra, verse 99; because there has been a mutual signal between the two. Therefore, if I do the same, your work will be done. Saying this, the goddess of observation knowledge went some distance from there and made a lion roar like Lakshmana. Hearing it, Rama immediately ran to help Lakshmana, leaving Sita alone there. Great men also fall into irony due to the illusion of the illusionist. As soon as Rama left, Ravana immediately descended from the plane and suddenly caught Sita and said, "I am Ravana, the one who is going to abduct you." Saying this, he forcibly put her in the Pushpak plane and flew away.
Sita was stunned by this unexpected event. Helpless Sita started crying - "Oh Lord! Oh Rama! Oh dear Lakshmana! Oh father! Oh brother with great arms! Your Sita is being abducted in the same way as a crow flies away with a sacrifice in the sky." Sita cried out loud in this way, as if she had made the sky cry. In the meantime, Jatayu bird also flew fast, chasing the plane. Coming near the plane, he said - 'Daughter! Don't be afraid! I have arrived.' Scolding Ravana, he said - 'Oh demon! Where are you taking this holy woman? Stop.' Bhamandal's follower, the Vidhyadhar Ratnajaati, also challenged Ravana and said scornfully - 'Oh thief! Stop! We will take care of you now.' Jatayu bird started hitting Ravana's chest with the sharp claws of his feet. Ravana said to the vulture - 'Old vulture! Are you tired of your life, it seems, your death is near.' Saying this, he cut off his wings with the Chandrahas sword. He writhed in pain, fell down
and his life-wings flew away there. Ravana had taken away the knowledge of that Vidhyadhar, so he also had his wings cut off. Like a bird, he fell face down on the ground. Thus, saving himself, Ravana took Sita to Lanka and kept her in his Ashoka Vatika there. To entice Sita and bring her under his control, he sent the Rakshasi Trijata.
On the other hand, Lakshmana was returning after killing the enemy when he met Rama coming from the front. 'Lakshmana asked - 'Brother! Why did you come here leaving Sita alone?' Rama said - 'I heard the ominous lion roar made by you and immediately ran here.' Lakshmana said - 'Brother! I did not make any lion roar. It seems someone else has deceived us by making a fake lion roar. Undoubtedly, some cunning person has planned this trick to abduct Aryasati.' Rama also said - 'Okay, okay' saying this, he returned to his ashram with Lakshmana. But not seeing Sita there, they felt like a thunderbolt. 'Oh Sita! Where did you go?' Crying like this, Rama fainted and fell to the ground. After a while, when he regained consciousness, Lakshmana said - 'Brother! It is useless to cry when disaster strikes in a helpless state, now we should strive to overcome the disaster. This is the true remedy, at that time a man came and greeted both of them. And on asking, he told his story and said - 'I am the son of Chandrodya, the king of Patala Lanka. Ravana killed my father and made Khar the king in his place. As if, a donkey has been given the place of a horse. At that time, my pregnant mother fled from there and took refuge in a safe place and gave birth to me there. One day, my mother was told by a sage - 'When Khar etc. will be killed by Dasharatha's son Rama, then your son will be made the king by giving him the throne of Patala Lanka. Don't doubt it even for a moment. Therefore, I am searching for you,
I have come here and met you. From today, I am taking your shelter. Consider me a purchased servant in return for killing the enemy of my father. On this, the great-armed Shri Rama took him along to give him the kingdom of Patala Lanka. 'Time-knowing masters are automatically successful by their actions.' Rama was going to give him the throne with Lakshmana. When on the way, a servant of Bhamandal was seen lying unconscious. He was conscious. Therefore, he narrated the whole story of Jatayu, Sita
and Ravana and his own. Rama assured him. After that, with Lakshmana 1. In another story, there is a description of Viradha's arrival and meeting Rama on the battlefield. 2. This description is mentioned in other stories at the time of meeting Sugriva.
