43 passagesअथ राजन्महाबाहुर्विचरन्स महीतले । हिमवद्वनमासाद्य परिचक्राम रावणः ।। ७.१७.१ ।।
Now, O King, the long-armed Rāvaṇa, while roaming over the earth, reached the forest of Himavat and wandered about there.
तत्रापश्यत्स वै कन्यां कृष्णाजिनजटाधराम् । आर्षेण विधिना युक्तां दीप्यन्तीं देवतामिव ।। ७.१७.२ ।।
There he indeed saw a maiden, wearing black antelope-skin and matted hair, endowed with the ṛṣi-tradition observance, shining like a goddess.
स दृष्ट्वा रूपसम्पन्नां कन्यां तां सुमहाव्रताम् । काममोहपरीतात्मा पप्रच्छ प्रहसन्निव ।। ७.१७.३ ।।
He, seeing that beautiful maiden, that girl of very great vow, his mind overcome by the delusion of desire, asked her, as if smiling.

“What is this, fair one, that you practice, contrary to your youth? For such conduct is not fitting in relation to this very beauty of yours.”
रूपं ते ऽनुपमं भीरु कामोन्मादकरं नृणाम् । न युक्तं तपसि स्थातुं निर्गतो ह्येष निर्णयः ।। ७.१७.५ ।।
“Your beauty is incomparable, timid one, and causes men to become maddened with desire. It is not proper to remain in austerity; indeed, this conclusion has emerged.”
