The other question about how is it that Maricha immediately agreed? Or why did Ravana kill Maricha for the first time and come back? There are two distinct aspects to this. Actually, Ravana hears from Akalambal.
And then Akalambal, through that, the plan comes that I will go and ask Maricha to delude. And then he will delude. But then he comes back because Maricha says no.
And after that, then again Ravana goes to Maricha. And this time he tells Maricha that either you cooperate with me or I will kill you. That time Maricha agrees.
The question is, how is it that Ravana was so stubborn? At the first time, he agreed to listen to Maricha. That’s because at that time, his lust was not triggered. Although Ravana is proud, Ravana is arrogant.
But still, he is also a demon who has strategic intelligence. And when he heard that one warrior without any army, not even two warriors, because Lakshmana was simply protecting himself, so Rama alone single-handedly killed all the Rakshasas, including Kharadusha and Trishala, in the universe of the middle class. So, although at one level he was burgeoning, thinking that my outpost has been destroyed, at another level, he thought that such and such a formidable warrior was there, and I should make a proper strategy to fight with him.
And this, that time, you see, when a person is not blinded by lust or something like that, was like, at least think strategically. So, what he did was, he had a strategy that I will get Maricha to take some form, and Maricha will sidetrack, and then we will do the needful. That was his plan.
But then Maricha did not cooperate. He thought that anyway, if this strategy doesn’t work, we will plan some other strategy, and I will encounter Rama later. So, it was not that he gave up the plan entirely, but he saw the strategy not going to work because of Maricha’s non-cooperation, and because of Maricha’s warning, he thought, I have to come up with some other strategy.
But then, Shurpanakha, I think Shurpanakha did three things. First is, just by coming in the assembly with her nose cut off, and she said, you know, she said that this is a dishonor to your own dynasty, that your sister’s nose has been cut off. And so, first, she removed the sense of dynasty God, and further he said, oh, what kind of king are you sitting on a throne? When your sister, when your sister, when your citizen has been so grievously dishonored, it’s only a king who is completely a slave of his senses.
Actually, she was going to make him a slave of his senses. That is what she acknowledged. A king who is a slave of his senses, who is given only to sense pleasures, such a king does not do his duty of protecting the citizens.
And when such a assertion was cast against him in a public assembly, it was actually the royal court. And she spoke like that, angered him even further. And then after that, when she described Sita’s beauty, that was like, she, Shurpanakha also, she used buttons to press to make Ravana dance.
And she describes Sita’s beauty. She actually changed the whole story. She said, because at one level, how it was, the, the Rama and Lakshmana, they were in their own territory.
They had not attacked the Rakshasas. But Shurpanakha, who had done the first false move. Why? Going and trying to attack, trying to proposition Rama and then attack Sita.
So, it was, she would maintain the attack. But she, she reinvented the whole story to propose, to further her attack. He said, actually, she did not say that I am in desire for Rama.
What he said? When I saw Sita, I thought she will just dissolve it for me. And I went there to get Sita for him. By, see what Rama did to me.
And then he describes Sita’s beauty. And now, Rama was further on. I thought, oh, Shurpanakha was doing this for me.
And at that time, she was humiliated like this. And then he heard Sita’s beauty, he was completely mad at her. And then, he said, I have to do this.
And he felt that whatever accompaniment for this, the strategy of getting Maricha to put on a bomb, that was the best strategy that he had. So, again, he went there. And Maricha was shocked to see him again.
And then, he forced Maricha to cooperate. So, basically, it was because of the manipulation of Sita, manipulation of, manipulation by Shurpanakha with the allurement of Sita that made Ravana act in a very, not just a sinful way, but also in a sinful and foolish way. Thank you very much.
