"To avenge myself I have decided to carry off Raama's wife from the
Dandaka forest. To disgrace and punish this Raama is a duty I owe to my race. And for this
I need your help. With you to help me, I have no fear. In courage, strength, skill and
magic powers, none on earth can equal you. That is why I have come to you. You cannot
refuse me. I will tell you how you can help me.
"You should turn yourself into a
golden deer--a golden deer with silver spots, casting a spell on all eyes. In that shape
romp in front of Seeta near Raama's aashrama. True to the character of women, she will
insist on Raama and Lakshmana pursuing and capturing you for her. When they are thus
engaged and she is left alone, I shall easily carry her off. |
