The princess Sita who is unblemished, with attractive features quivered like a plantain tree in wind, after witnessing the young and charismatic King of demons adorned in precious ornaments.  Sita who has long beautiful eyes, covered her stomach, bosom and thighs with her hands and sat down on the ground and wept bitterly.   Ravana saw Sita who was well guarded by dreadful demons; she was in a miserable state like a ship drowned in vast ocean.  She was sitting on the muddy ground like a branch of tree fallen off, she was completely covered with mud and shone like mud covered lotus plant.  She was absorbed in the thoughts of Rama, lion among the Kings with marvelous personality, in a chariot of her desire driven by thoughts like horses; she was shrunken in utter grief with tears all over her face, she was like a serpent withered under spell, like Rohini infused in the smoke of planet Kethu.  Although virtuous Sita was born in the righteous family and well married was appeared like low ranked woman, ruined her fame due to unfairness, wisdom lost its glory due to inappropriate handling of the same; she was in a hopeless state, her faith was put on test, her power of understanding grown weak, she was like a withered lotus, gloomy and a dried river, like an altar was dishonored, tongue of fire gone off, crescent moon devoured by Rahu in the full moon night, an unattractive lotus pond with tattered leaves and flowers being roughly treated by the trunk of an elephant,  she was emaciated with extreme grief resembled like a dry pond in the moon light.   Sita who has delicate limbs was familiarized with the living conditions in the gem studded palace was tortured by heat and poor living conditions, looked like an uprooted lotus plant, she resembled like a female elephant in capture without the leader of herd, she was in extreme grief and distress, Sita with a single plait of hair, thin due to continuous fast, fear and severe austerities, looked like dark forest at the end of rainy season, she sincerely prayed with folded hands for the defeat of Ravana in the hands of Rama.  Ravana approached Sita who is blameless with attractive physical features, undertakes severe austerities was already shrunken with grief, tears all over her face looked at all directions with fear,  Ravana tries to beguile her and threatens to kill her.
 
 
Jai Sriman Narayana !!
