In the glorious Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Sundarakāṇḍa, the twenty-eighth canto/chapter. She, Sītā, having heard that speech of the lord of the rākṣasas, afflicted because what was प्रिय to her was unpleasant to Rāvaṇa—or because she was pained by that unwelcome speech of Rāvaṇa—was greatly terrified, like a daughter of the king of elephants attacked by a lion in the depth of the forest.

सा राक्षसीमध्यगता च भीरु-
र्वाग्भिर्भृशं रावणतर्जिता च।
कान्तारमध्ये विजने विसृष्टा
बालेव कन्या विललाप सीता॥ २॥
English · Meaning
She, having come to be amidst the demonesses, and timid, and severely threatened by Rāvaṇa with words, Sītā lamented like a young girl cast away in a lonely wilderness.
“Indeed, alas, this is true: the good say that untimely death does not occur in the world. Since I, thus being threatened, live even for a moment, I must be unfortunate.” ॥ 3 ॥
This heart of mine, deprived of happiness and filled with much suffering, is surely steadfast; why does it not burst today into a thousand pieces, like a mountain peak struck by a thunderbolt?
Surely there is no fault of mine here. I am fit to be slain by this hateful-looking one. And I am not able to return his feeling; just as a twice-born does not impart a mantra to one who is not twice-born.
