VALMIKI RAMAYANA NOUN

vrm.5.10	Hanuma saw Mandodari with a beautiful form together with diamonds and pearls, well decorated by jewellery and with her self radiance as though decorating that great building with a fair complexion and with a radiance like golden colour, who was dear to her husband the lady of women in that gynaeceum sleeping there.
vrm.5.58	"Springing up from the midst of those women, a royal woman named Mandodari, the wife of that evil minded Ravana, ran to him.
vrm.5.58	"I suddenly caught by the feet, that prince, son of Mandodari, who was skilled in warfare and who was jumping into the sky with his sword and shield.
vrm.6.7	Oh, the best of Rakshasas! By Maya, the lord of Rakshasas, Mandodari his daughter was given to you in marriage, due to fear from you and duly desiring your friendship.
vrm.6.111	While those consorts were weeping on that occasion, Mandodari, the senior most and beloved wife of Ravana, who was feeling miserable, stared at her husband.
vrm.6.111	Gazing at Ravana, her husband who was killed by Rama of unimaginable exploits, Mandodari there, miserably lamented as follows: "O the great armed, the brother of Kubera! Even Indra the destroyer of strongholds, indeed dares not to stand before you, when you were enraged.
vrm.6.111	This Mandodari, who was helping in your sport with you, is weeping with helplessness.
vrm.6.111	Lamenting thus, with her eyes filled with tears and her heart moistened with love, Mandodari, at that time, fell into a swoon.
vrm.6.111	Fallen on the breast of Ravana, that dispirited Mandodari, stricken as she was with grief, shone like a vivid flash of lightning across a rainy cloud, reddened by the flow of twilight.
vrm.6.111	Raising up Mandodari, who was in that condition bitterly weeping, her co wives who were also weeping, very much distressed as they were, began to console her as follows: "Don t you know the uncertain state of the worlds, O queen, that the wealth of kings is unsteady, when there is a change in the tide of their fate?" While they were consoling thus, Mandodari, moistening her breasts and her spotless face in tears, wept aloud at that moment.
vrm.6.123	"Here, surrounded by more than a thousand fellow wives, Ravana s wife named Mandodari lamented for Ravana.
vrm.7.12	And taking her hand with his own, Maya lord of Daityas laughing, said unto that lord of the Rakshasas, This daughter of mine, O king, borne by the Apsara, Hema, this my daughter named Mandodari do thou accept as thy wife.
vrm.7.12	And then was born Mandodari s son, Meghanada.
