TRANSLATION
O King Pariksit, when Ravana, who had ten heads on his
shoulders, heard about the beautiful and attractive features of
Sita, his mind was agitated by lusty desires, and he went to kidnap
her. To distract Lord Ramacandra from His aSrama, Ravana sent
Marica in the form of a golden deer, and when Lord Ramacandra
saw that wonderful deer, He left His residence and followed it and
finally killed it with a sharp arrow, just as Lord Siva killed Daksa.
