4. Mighty Karmasatta

3 crucial attacks of Karmasatta on Sita :

Sitaji says; Look following are Karmasatta’s attacks on me.

When I got married, I was enthusiastic that I have got an
exceptionally brave and reputed husband – King Dashrath’s
son. I had thought that I will live a royal and happily married
life. But Karmasatta attacked me saying, “You wanted a royal
life. But instead I will show you the difficulties of exile.
“Thus,

(1) I was forced to leave the palatial pleasures and roam
about in the forest.

(2) Inspite of the exile. I was not dejected. Instead, I consoled
myself saying,

“Though I was forced to leave the palace but my husband
is with me. I was not married to the palatial comforts
but I was married to Rama, a true gentleman and he is
with me. I was attached to my husband and not with
servants, ornaments, royal feasts and chariots. So if I lose
them, what’s the big deal ? My husband is safe and thus
everything is safe.”

No sooner did I make up my mind in this manner, than
Karmasatta took another shot at me. You were happy that
your husband is safe with you, right ! Now look what I
do ! Thus it made Ravana kidnap me. Now where was
my husband’s safe shelter ?
