Return that beauty! Do not hold her captive! Do not fall into the ocean of four life forms, filled with 'sorrows, with its terrible births and deaths, the sea of hell! Oh, unsightly [Rāvaṇa] who terrifies the world, listen to the four forms of existence and the anuprekṣā on transmigration! [sometimes one lives] in water, on land, in a Pātāla or in the sky, as a god, in hell, as an animal or as a human, in the form of something male, female or sexless, as a bull, a ram, a buffalo or a mare, as an elephant, a horse, a bird, a lion, a peacock, or a snake, as a worm, a bug, an insect, or a bee, as a huge elephant mounted by someone, or as a wild cat. One is killed, one kills, one dies, one walks, one cries miserably, one is eaten and one eats [other creatures]. A soul grabs hold of bodies and [later] disposes of them. It experiences the fruits of evil. A wife [becomes] a mother, a mother a wife, a sister [becomes] a daughter, a daughter a sister, a son [becomes] a father, a father a son, an enemy [becomes] a friend, a friend an enemy. Rāvaṇa, who enjoys happiness in this transmigration? Return Sītā! Do not damage your integrity!29
