As time flew by, Ravana once again sent his fierce rakshasis to warn Sita.
The rakshasis came one by one and stood before her. She saw their messy hair, protruding teeth and sharp claws. Some had hunchbacks, while others, twisted arms. They laughed and mocked as Sita looked at them helplessly.
Sita wept pitifully when they tried to threaten her. As night drew closer more and more demons gathered around her.
When morning approached, Ravana accompanied by many other demons came to the Ashoka tree. He once again expressed his love for Sita and proposed to marry her.
Sita replied that Rama would kill him for committing these sins. Being ignored thus, Ravana said, "This is my last warning, if you do not accept proposal, my cooks will cut you into pieces and feed the rakshasis." Saying these angry words Ravana left the place.
Sita closed her eyes and prayed to Rama. |
