And then Ravan moved a few steps forward; sat on the ground before Sita; and then he began to make entreaties to her. But Sita indignantly reprimanded him; turned her face away from him; and said with burning anger;
"O you meanest of mortals! Certainly the cruel eyes of the god of death have fallen upon you. Since the time you abducted, the wife of Shri Ram dreadful death has been stalking behind you. By abducting me, you have courted a disaster and invited Death. O you wicked fellow ! How long can you remain secure escaping from the dreadful fury of my husband Shri Ram and my brother-in-law. Lakshman?”
“Sita ! Dear one ! Do not break my heart by uttering such harsh words. Indeed, I love you. I do not desire anything except you; nor do I worry about anything else. I fear no one in the entire universe. Let alone mortals, even demons and gods shudder before me ...... Become the queen of my harem. Establish your undisputed and absolute sway seated on the throne of my heart. That will be the veritable heaven for me .... That will make my life a magnificent Nandanvan (the heavenly garden)”
Ravan's repeated entreaties had no effect on Sita. She remained firm and unyielding. She reprimanded him and denounced him. Yet, Ravan who was caught in the whirlwind of passion and sensual desires kept repeating his entreaties with increased fervour. The great sages have rightly said.
“Indeed Passion is powerful."
The sun had already set.
Yet, Ravan blinded by indignation and infatuation kept wandering through the dense forest of sensual passion; and overpowering indignation. When Sita did not accept Ravan's entreaties and humble offers of love, he grew wild with range. In consequence, he made a determination to win her over by means of threats and terror-tactics. Ravan was not an ordinary mortal but a Vidyadhar emperor who had acquired mastery over many supernatural powers.
