Concealing himself among the leaves of a tree he mused within himself, “Come, sir, what should I do?” At that very moment RŒva˜a arrived there gaily adorned and accompanied by a troop of women. The wretch tried to prevail upon Her in many ways through friendly advice, allurements, threats and estrangement. Said RŒva˜a, “Listen, O beautiful and wise lady: I will make Mandodar¶ and all other queens your handmaids, I swear, provided you cast your look on me only once.” Interposing between Herself and RŒva˜a and fixing Her thoughts on Her most beloved lord (Ýr¶ RŒma), the King of AyodhyŒ, Videha’s Daughter rejoined: “Listen, O ten-headed monster: can a lotus flower ever expand in the glow of a fire-fly?” “Ponder this at heart,” continued Janaka’s Daughter; “perhaps you have no idea what Ýr¶ RŒma’s shafts are like, O wretch. You carried me off at a time when there was none by my side; yet you do not feel ashamed, O vile and impudent rogue!” (1—5)
