Sarg 26 - Seetaa Weeps 

Seetaa again said - "This wicked Raavan has abducted me with the help of Maareech who appeared there in the form of deer. I do not like to be alive without Raam that is why I want to die now. I cannot touch Raavan's body even with my foot, then how can I love him. But Raavan is not agreeing me because of his lust for me. Neither he knows his Vansh, nor he knows himself, so whether he pierces me with spear, or cut into pieces from sword, or cook the parts of my body, but I cannot accept him at all. Whatever you are saying to me it is all useless. Whoever Raam killed 14,000 Raakshas in Jansthaan, He will surely come here. It is not possible that He does not remember His wife. It is just He might not know my whereabouts but He cannot tolerate my insult.

Geedh Raaj Jataayu fought to save me but he was killed in that fight, otherwise he must have told Raam about my abduction. I believe this firmly that Raam will surely destroy this Lankaa. When this sinful Raavan will be killed, at that time this Lankaa will like a widow. At that time I will see those Dev women crying. Raakshas are sinners. They don't know anything about Dharm or A-Dharm. If this Raakshas will kill me to eat then I will enter the fire without seeing Raam. Sometimes I feel that He must have left His body in my grief. And even if He is alive then He will come here surely."

Sarg 27 - Trijataa Tells Her Dream 

All Raakshasee got angry hearing this. Some ran away to Raavan to tell him what Seetaa said. There was an old and intelligent Raakshasee named Trijataa who was hearing all this till now. Now she spoke to other Raakshasee - "The way you want to eat Seetaa, why not eat your own flesh first in that way? You should drop the idea of eating Raajaa Janak's dear daughter and Raajaa Dashrath's daughter-in-law, because today I have seen a dream which is very terrible. In that I saw the good of Her husband and destruction of all Raakshas."

All Raakshasee got angry and asked her to tell her dream. Trijataa said - "I saw that Raam and Lakshman have come here riding in a chariot of 1,000 horses. That chariot had many ornaments on it. Seetaa met Him like the shine meets the Sun. 

In another dream I saw that Raam and Lakshman have come here riding on an elephant with four tusks. He made Seetaa ride on the elephant and took Her. Later I saw all the three coming in Lankaa on the same elephant through skyway and then flying away to north in Pushpak Vimaan. I saw Raavan as a criminal with the string attached to his neck to kill him. He fell from Pushpak Vimaan. He wore black clothes and his head was shaved. He looked like an insane who sometimes laughed, sometimes cried and sometimes danced. He was drinking oil. Whatever condition I saw of Raavan, I saw the same for his brothers and sons also.

Then I saw that Raavan on pig, Meghnaad on Soons and Kumbhkarn on camel were going to south. But I saw Vibheeshan flying in the sky in white clothes with royal umbrella. Raakshas rejoiced with him singing and dancing. And after this Lankaa sank in the sea.

This dream indicates that Raam will definitely get Seetaa. And this is also certain that Raam will kill you along with Raakshas. That is why don't speak harsh words to Seetaa and move from here. Please Seetaa by praying Her. If you will speak to Her politely She will definitely be pleased. Raam will win Raavan and Raavan will be killed. I believe firmly that my dream will come true."

Hearing this Seetaa said - "If it happened thus then I will surely protect you."
