BOOK 3: ARANYA KANDA
SECTION 53
Maithili, the daughter of Janaka, on seeing the skyward flight of Ravana taking her along became highly frantic and remaining in highest dismay she is distraught. (3 53 1)
Seetha whose eyes turned coppery red with tears and resentment, still outpouring tears while being abducted she piteously poured this scorn on that gory eyed Rakshasa s chief, Ravana. (3 53 2) "You knave Ravana, you are taking flight on thieving me after prowling about my loneliness, such as you are, are you not ashamed in the least for this subterfuge. (3 53 3) "You black hearted fiend, for sure, you alone sidelined my husband in a trickish guise of Golden Deer wishful to abduct me as you are a coward. (3 53 4) "Which king of Eagles battled against you to bail me out, an old friend of my father in law, such as he is he is also felled, indeed. (3 53 5)
"Ah, truly what an audacious audacity is shown by you… you basely Rakshasa… by ear shattering your great name saying that I am Ravana… I am conquered in a combat Really? Or "A woman, that too a lonely one, that too the other man s wife, that too an abduction, but not winning or wooing her… you knave, on your undertaking such a kind of deplorable deed, how unashamed are you? (3 53 7)
"A self glorifier as you are, this highly inhuman, iniquitous, imputable deed of yours will be recounted by all men in all worlds. (3 53 8) "Damn with what you have said then about your might and mettle… damn with this kind of your demeanour which is lamentable to whole of your clan in this world. (3 53 9) "What can be done possibly… why because you are fleeing very speedily in this way… wait for a moment to ascertain whether you can go back in aliveness… (3 53 10) "On your coming into the line of sight of those two princes, even if you are with whole of your military, you will be incapacitated to live on, indeed even for a moment… (3 53 11)
"Anywise it will be incapable of you to endure the touch of their arrows, as with a bird that cannot endure the overly flaring up wildfire in a forest. (3 53 12) "Oh, Ravana, positively contemplate in your soul and politely release me… and if you do not release me, indeed by the rancour of insulting me, my husband along with his brother devises your doom… (3 53 13, 14a) "You rogue! By which endeavour you are desirous of thieving me under duress, that endeavour of yours behoves absurd. (3 53 14b, 15a)
"Though I am in aliveness now, but on my going under the control of an enemy and on unseeing godlike husband of mine I am indeed unenthused to bear up my lives for a long. (3 53 15) "Definitely and completely unanticipated in your heart are either that which is worthwhile or that which is beneficial to you, as mortals undertake a quirkily behaviour at the time of their death… Or "But which is recuperative that is unpalatable to all of the death rattlers, and indeed, I behold you as one around whose throat the noose of Time is looped. (3 53 17b, 18a)
"As you are dauntless in this daunting situation as for yourself, oh, Dasamukha Rakshasa, indeed it is clear that you are clearly fantasising the ill omened golden trees all around. (3 53 18b, 19a) "Oh, Ravana, you will see the ghastly River Vaitarani which will be tumultuously streaming with blood streams, also thus you will see the grisly sword leaved forests in hell. (3 53 19b, 20a) "You will see silk cotton trees flowered with molten gold, shrouded with lapis gemlike melting leaves, and enshrouded with sharp irony thorns in hell. (3 53 20b, 21a)
"Oh, unmerciful one, on doing this kind of misdeed to that noble souled Rama you are incapable to bear up life for a long time like the one who quaffed venom. (3 53 21b, 22a) "You are bound by the unpreventable lasso of the Time, oh, Ravana, on going where you will get complacency from that uncompromising husband of mine? (3 53 22b, 23a) "By whom fourteen thousand Rakshasas are killed in war just within a minute, single handedly without any help from his brother, how then that brave and mighty Raghava, an expert in all kinds of missiles, will not eliminate you, the stealer of his chosen wife, with his mordant arrows?" Thus Seetha poured forth her ire at Ravana. (3 53 23b, 24, 25a)
On saying this much and other exacting words, Vaidehi who has gone onto the flank of Ravana, indeed lamented lamentably as her dismay is coalesced with her distress. (3 53 25b, c) She who is highly agonised and weeping before talking, a ranter who ranted much, a resentful lady who has come of age, and a pitiable whirler in the hands of Rakshasa whose whirligig has transformed into spasmodic jerking of her body for deliverance from that sinner, and in that way that sinner stole that princess Seetha. (3 53 26)
