That very night the demoness Trija¢å called on S∂tå and told Her the whole story.
When S∂tå heard of the renewal of the enemyís heads and arms, She felt much dismayed
at heart. She wore a doleful countenance and Her mind was filled with anxiety. Then S∂tå
addressed Trija¢å thus : ìWhy do you not tell me, mother, what is going to happen? How
can this plague of the universe be obliterated? He does not die even though the arrows
of ›r∂ Råma (the Lord of the Raghus) have struck off his heads. It is Heaven who is
disposing of things perversely. Nay, it is my ill luck that sustains him, the same
misfortune which separated me from ›r∂ Hariís lotus-feet. The fate which created the
phantom of a fictitious deer of gold still frowns at me. The same Providence who made
me suffer terrible woes and prompted me to speak harsh words to Lakmaƒa, nay, who
pierced me through and through time and again with the mighty and poisoned shafts of
separation from the Lord of the Raghus, and who keeps me alive even under such trying
circumstancesóit is He and He alone who is conserving Råvaƒaís life.î With many such
words did Janakaís Daughter make lament as She recalled to Her mind the All-merciful.
Trija¢å replied : ìListen, O Princess: the enemy of the gods will surely die if an arrow
pierces his breast. But the Lord is careful not to strike him there; for He knows that
Videhaís Daughter (Yourself) abides in his heart. (1ó7)
