“S¶tŒ, you have offered me an insult; I will accordingly cut off your head with my relentless sword. If not, obey my command at once; or else you lose your life, O beautiful lady.” “My lord’s arm is lovely as a string of blue lotuses and shapely and long as the trunk of an elephant, O ten-headed monster. Either that arm or your dreadful sword will have my neck: hear this my solemn vow, O fool. (Turning to RŒva˜a’s glittering scimitar) Take away, O CandrahŒsa separation from the Lord of the Raghus. You possess a cool, sharp and good blade; therefore, relieve the burden of my sorrow,” S¶tŒ said. On hearing these words he rushed forward to kill Her; it was Queen Mandodar¶ (Maya’s daughter) who (intervened and) pacified him with words of good counsel. Summoning all the demonesses (posted there) he said, “Go and intimidate S¶tŒ in every way. If she does not accept my advice in a month’s time I will draw my sword and behead her.” (1—5)
