ARANYAKANDA

Rama, wearing matted hair and living
the life of an ascetic, rooted in
Dharma and self-controlled, has come to
the Dandaka forest along with his brother
and myself. Rest awhile. You may remain
here. My husband will come bringing
forest produce in plenty."
एवं ब्रुवन्त्यां सीतायां रावणः प्रत्युवाच ह ॥
To Sita who spoke thus, Ravana replied :
भ्राता वैश्रवणस्याहं सापत्न्यो वरवर्णिनि ।
रावणो नाम भद्रं ते दशग्रीवः प्रतापवान् ॥
" O beautiful one, I am the step-brother
of Vaisravana (Kubera – Lord of wealth).
the famous ten-necked one
am
Ravana. Good betide you.
I
named
त्रिषु लोकेषु विख्यातं यदि भर्तारमिच्छसि ।
मामाश्रय वरारोहे तवाहं सदृशः पतिः ॥
O you of beautiful waist, if you desire
a husband known to all the three worlds,
become mine. I am
a worthy husband
to you.
