[Chapter] Aranya Kandam [Scene] Shurpanakha describes Sita Devi's divine beauty before Ravana
[Gist] For the next kṛti from the Rāmanāṭakam that will be uploaded, we fast forward to what happens after Shūrpanakhā, the sister of Rāvaṇa, runs to her brother when Lakṣhmaṇa chops her ears and nose off. She pretends that her injuries were sustained when she tried to kidnap the most beautiful woman in the world for him. The kavirāyar uses this opportuniy to describe Sītā’s beauty through the eyes of the duplicitous Shūrpanakhā in this kṛti.
In the pallavi, she declares that one needs countless eyes (lakṣham being merely an indicator of the large number needed) to take in the beauty of Sītā that no woman can hold a candle to or even come close. She continues that the twenty eyes that Ravaṇa possesses are woefully inadequate for the purpose at hand.
She says that glances from Sītā’s lotus-like eyes are like arrows, her speech is extremely auspicious, her gait is like a swan’s, her waist is as slender as a golden creeper; all in all, she’s incomparable. She adds that it’d be his good fortune to attain someone like her who is worthy of the gods.
She describes Rāma and Lakṣhmaṇa as two (weak) ascetics who will not stand in Ravaṇa’s way, should he try to make Sītā his. It is in the ending of this kṛti that the kavirāyar demonstrates his pāṇḍityam - by using the word kāriyam to indicate both design/effect of that action (coveting Sītā) as well as foretelling the consequence of that action, i.e., Rāvaṇa’s end (last rites)!
