In which Rāvaṇa's queens rush wailing to the field, clasp his corpse, and blame his scorned counsel and stolen Sītā
Rākṣasa widows rush grieving from the palace — They find Rāvaṇa fallen in bloody dust — They collapse upon his limbs wailing — They praise his past triumphs over gods — They marvel a mortal fells the unslayable king — They blame deafness to friendly counsel — They blame keeping Sītā for the ruin — They yield the disaster to unturnable fate
