Ravana taking Devi Sita to battle-field
(Valmiki Ramayana - Yuddha Kanda - 47 to 48)
• Meditation: I meditate on Sri Rama waging war against Ravana in Lanka.• Ravana taking Devi Sita to battle-field: Ravana ordered the demoness headed by Trijata to take Sita to the battlefield in the Pushpaka Vimana and see the conditions of Rama and Lakshmana with her own eyes. Let her see herself that the husband on whom she depended upon lies slain. Therefore she can submit to him. Ravana proclaimed in Lanka that Rama and Lakshmana have been killed by Indrajit. Seeing Rama and Lakshmana lying motionless transfixed with arrows, and thinking them as dead, Devi Sita wailed piteously. Devi Sita said that the astrologers predicted that she will not become widow and bear sons. They mentioned the auspicious marks on her body and predicted that she will be consecrated as a queen. Now all those predictions are rendered false. Trijata however consoled Devi Sita saying that Rama and Lakshmana are still alive. The army of vanaras are protecting them. Even celestials and demons cannot vanquish Rama and Lakshmana. Trijata pointed out that even lying on the bed of arrows, their splendour is intact which is a marvel in itself. Then Trijata took her back to the Ashoka garden.
