COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE R膧MA-STORY 69 M膩rica though first unwilling to help, later on advises R膩va峁嘺 to send
Surpanakh膩 and ascertain whether S墨t膩 has any affection for him.
Surpanakh膩 goes to the Citrak奴ta garden where R膩ma and S墨t膩 are
sojourning. She in the disguise of an old lady-gardener enquires from
S墨t膩 and comes back with a report that S墨t膩 is very faithful to her
husband and cannot be seduced at all (68. 115-182). Considering the
report a lie, R膩va峁嘺 himself driving in his Pu峁�paka-vim膩na goes there
along with M膩r墨ca. The latter transforms himself into a golden deer and
dupes R膩ma. Lak峁�ma峁嘺 is not there at that time (68. 199). The MP
also agrees with this account. In it Surpanakh膩 is called Candanah墨.
She goes there in the disguise of a Ka帽cuk墨 and pretends herself to be
mother of (71. 19) the gardener.
D. Forcible removal of S墨t膩 by R膩va峁嘺 to La峁僰膩 :
According to the PCV when S墨t膩 is left alone with Jatayu, R膩va峁嘺
removes her by force. He overpowers the vulture and flees away taking
her in his Puspaka-vim膩na (44. 39-42). Khecara Ratnaja峁璱n obstructs
the passage of R膩vana and tries to rescue S墨t膩, but R膩va峁嘺 nullifies the
power of the Vidyas of that Khecara as a result of which the latter falls
down on the Kambudvipa (45. 32). On the way R膩va峁嘺 implores S墨t膩
vow鹿 of not using
to become his wife but she rebukes him (46. 1-10). He reaches Lank膩,
puts S墨t膩 in the Devarama峁嘺 Park and himself goes to his palace
Mandodari requests
(46. 15). He deputes Mandodar墨 to persuade S墨t膩.
R膩vana to use force but the latter tells her of his
force on any unwilling woman. Mandodari fails to persuade S墨t膩.
Then R膩vana himself tries to seduce S墨t膩 first by putting allurements
before her and then by conjuring dreadful and monstrous beasts and
hobgoblins. But S墨t膩 is firm. Vibh墨峁�a峁嘺 is unable to see her plight.
He admonishes R膩van膩. But the latter is adamant, and arranges for
S墨t膩's abode under the A艣oka grove of Padma-udy膩na. He sends his
maid-servants to seduce S墨t膩 but all in vain.
According to the VR, when S墨ta is left alone, R膩va峁嘺 approaches
her in the disguise of a Parivr膩jaka (3.46,2) and talks a while with her.
He asks her to become his wife. She condemns her for his malicious
intentions. He resumes his real form and forcibly takes her away in
his chariot (3.49.16). He cuts off the limbs of the intervening Ja峁�膩yu
(3.51.42). During his flight S墨t膩 drops her upper garment and some
ornaments when she observes five monkeys sitting on a hill (3.54.2).
1. He took his vow when he paid homage to Muni Anantavirya (14. 153).
