Ravana deciding to kill Devi Sita

(Valmiki Ramayana - Yuddha Kanda - 92)

Sri Rama fighting

• Meditation: I meditate on Sri Rama waging war against Ravana in Lanka.

• Ravana deciding to kill Devi Sita: Hearing the news of the death of Indrajit, Ravana swooned for a long time. Regaining his consciousness, Ravana started lamenting. Then getting enveloped by fury, Ravana assumed a terrible form. The demons hid themselves away from his gaze. Ravana decided to kill Sita and also go to the battle to kill Rama and Lakshmana wearing his invincible armour obtained as a boon from Lord Brahma. Then Ravana, drawing his sword proceeded towards Ashoka vana where Devi Sita was there. Devi Sita saw Ravana and wept thinking that he is intent on killing her either due to being refused, or due to the death of his sons, or after eliminating Rama. Seeing Devi Sita weeping, a minister called Suparshva who was of good-natured advised Ravana to desist from this unrighteous act and instead direct his rage towards Rama. Suparshva told Ravana to march towards the battle field on the day of Amavashya which fell on the next day. Ravana agreed to his advice and returned.
