With a cloth bag over his shoulder, Ravana was clad in saffron clothes. He was Sita and instantly attracted towards her. He asked her who she was and what she was doing in the forest. Sita, knowing this to be a wandering beggar told him who she was. She told him to wait and said Lakshmana would be coming back soon and then she would give away some alms. She said No one ever went away from Rama's hut, empty handed. She then asked the beggar who he was.
He said his name was Ravana and he was the younger brother of Kubera. He was living in the forest, spending his time, meditating. He said he was hungry and asked for some food.Rama and Lakshmana could get late and he needed to have a bath and start his meditation.
Sita said she had a few fruits in the house and she would give that to him, if he came inside.
Ravana said he was under an oath and he would not enter anyone's house. He said if she would come out and give something then he would accept it, else he would go away.
Sita thought it would not be good to displease a guest. Sita stepped out with the fruits.
The moment Sita had crossed the circle drawn by Lakshmana, Ravana caught Sita's hand. Sita shouted at him to leave her hand. She said if he did not leave her, his entire dynasty would be destroyed.
Ravana then said listen to me. I am Ravana, king of Lanka. I came here in the guise of a beggar. Enticed by you, I want to take you along with me. The other wives of mine, will become your maids. Rama has not given you anything but sorrow. Come with me, and you will live like a queen. Humans like Rama are like insects in front of me.You are beautiful and your beauty will light up Lanka.
Sita started abusing Ravana. You are evil. You do not know what is correct. In from of lion like Rama, you are a mere fox. Would you have been able to touch me if either Rama or Lakshmana were here. You have deceived me, seeing I am alone.
Sita was shaking in anger.
Ravana took his own self.
He said Rama who wears bark and leaves is nothing in front of me., You will see how I take care of you.
Sita said Because of me you will die. I am the daughter of great Janaka and the daughter in law of Dashratha. It is surprising that a Rakshasa captures me and takes me away.
Sita started shouting out for help. Rama, if you can hear me, save me. O brother Lakshmana, help me.
Ravana pulled Sita into his chariot. Fearing that Rama might come soon, Ravana started the chariot.
Sita called out to the Gods. She said tell Rama that Sita has been kidnapped by Ravana. She said to the trees and creepers, tell Rama that Ravana is taking me away.
Ravana tried to console her, and Sita said if I knew a rakshasa was coming, I would have never stepped outside the hut. If only I had listened to Lakshmana and not told him to go.
Ravana said Stop worrying. Gems and Riches await you.
Sita said Do not say this. You will die soon.
