Sundara Kaanda Sargas 22
Sundara Kaanda - Sarga 22
In this Sarga, Rāvaṇa tells Seetā that it is because of his love for her that he is not able to harm her and that he could have easily killed her. He reminds her that she has only two more months before she yields to him and goes to bed with him, failing which she would be chopped in the kitchen and served as breakfast for him.
While Seetā is thus being threatened, the Dēva and Gandharva women who are with Rāvaṇa empathize with her through their facial expressions. Finding comfort in their support, Seetā chides Rāvaṇa again and wonders why there is no one who could give proper advice to him. She warns him that he had invited his own death, by abducting her. She insults him by pointing to his cowardly act of stealing of her while Rāma and Lakshmaṇa were away. She tells him that he could hope to stay alive only as long as he doesn’t fall in the line of sight of Rāma.
Enraged, Rāvaṇa instructs the Rākshasis guarding Seetā to subdue her with temptations as well as threats. Meanwhile one of his lovers, Dhānyamālini, comes up to him and implores him to enjoy sporting with her and disregard the pale and miserable Seetā, who is a mere human. She reflects that Seetā, after all, seems not destined to enjoy his riches.
His ego boosted by those words, Rāvaṇa leaves.

Are you not ashamed of ridiculing
the Lord of Ikshwākus, by remaining here
and avoiding falling in his line of sight!

O ignoble one! I cannot understand
why those ugly black and yellow eyes of yours
do not fall off even as you stare at me.

And why does your tongue not fall off,
when you address me, the wife of that Dharmātma
and daughter-in-law of Daṡaratha, like this?

You deserve to be reduced to
ashes through my yogic power,
but I refrain from doing so, O Ten-necked One,
because I abide by the precepts of Tapa and
because I do not have the permission of Rāma.

You could possibly not have been able
to abduct me, who belongs to the sagacious Rāma;
Providence must have, without a doubt,
arranged so to bring death upon you.
