37 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे सुन्दरकाण्डे विंशः सर्गः ॥५-२०॥ स तां परिवृतां दीनां निरानन्दां तपस्विनीम्। साकारैर्मधुरैर्वाक्यैर्न्यदर्शयत रावणः॥ १॥
In the revered Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Sundarakāṇḍa, the twentieth canto. Ravana addressed that ascetic woman—surrounded, miserable, joyless—with agreeable, sweet words.
मां दृष्ट्वा नागनासोरु गूहमाना स्तनोदरम्। अदर्शनमिवात्मानं भयान्नेतुं त्वमिच्छसि॥ २॥
Seeing me, O woman with thighs like an elephant’s trunk, you wish, out of fear, to hide your breast and belly and make yourself as if unseen.
कामये त्वां विशालाक्षि बहु मन्यस्व मां प्रिये। सर्वांगगुणसम्पन्ने सर्वलोकमनोहरे॥ ३॥
I desire you, O wide-eyed woman; esteem me highly, my beloved. O woman endowed with every excellence of every limb, who captivates all the worlds. ॥3॥
नेह किञ्चिन्मनुष्या वा राक्षसाः कामरूपिणः। व्यपसर्पतु ते सीते भयं मत्तः समुत्थितम्॥ ४॥
There is no human being here, nor any demon capable of assuming forms. Let the fear that has arisen from me withdraw from you, Sita.
स्वधर्मो रक्षसां भीरु सर्वदैव न संशयः। गमनं वा परस्त्रीणां हरणं सम्प्रमथ्य वा॥ ५॥
It is indeed the customary nature of demons, timid one, always, without doubt: approaching other men's wives, or carrying them away after violently overpowering them.
