Ravana's sister Shurpanakhaa gave an account of Sita by which he was infatuated and ordered Maareech to become the illusive deer. The lotus eyed Seetaa, made a desire for the deer and Thou went after it and killed it with an arrow. As Maareech died, he gave an illusive cry imitating Raama. Hearing the cry , Sita sent away Thy younger brother Lakshmana after him. Finding her alone Raavana abducted. Sita Though Thou were grieved at this, Thou also felt some joy as this gave a good reason to kill Ravana.
