Ravana from there, went to Mount Kailasha and rested there. It was evening. A mild breeze was blowing and the moon was shining brightly. Ravana was alone and wanted a woman. He then spotted the apsara Rambha passing by. He caught her hand and asked her to be with him.
Rambha said You are my father in law, why do you behave thus? Ravana asked her how was that possible.
Rambha said he was the wife of Nalkubera, son of Kubera, thus his daughter in law. As Kubera was the elder brother of Ravana and she was the daughter in law of Kubera, she was thus, his daughter in law also.
Rambha then said she was going to meet her husband and if Ravana left her, she would come another day and be with him.
Ravana laughed and said he would not leave someone whom he had caught.
Rambha pleaded with him but Ravana did not let her go and ravished her.
Rambha escaped and went to Nalkubera and told him what had happened.
Nalkubera said I do not fault you. All fault is of Ravana. Saying he cursed Ravana saying if he ever touched another woman by force, he would die.
Agastya said This was the curse that saved Sita.
