When Rāvaṇa said this,
the daughter of Janaka, of perfect figure,
became angry and replied
to that Rākshasa in all contempt:

I am devoted to my husband Rāma,
who is comparable to the great Indra,
who can be moved no more than
a great mountain can be
and who can be shaken no more than
a great ocean can be! Till now, we have seen the soft side of Seetā, in imploring Rāma to take her along with him to the Vana (Ayōdhyā Kāṇḍa, Sargas 27 and 29), in imploring him not to get on the wrong side of the Rākshasas (Araṇya Kāṇḍa, Sarga 9) and in asking him to get the golden deer (Araṇya Kāṇḍa, Sarga 43).
Starting now, we will see the lioness in her. All women of character have both these sides in them and they show up when the occasion calls for them.
Her reaction upon hearing ‘Ha Seetā and Ha Lakshmaṇa!’ was panic and worry. But, not after much time has passed, when accosted by the lord of all the Rākshasas, Rāvaṇa himself, she shows no fear. She, indeed, roars like a lioness here.
From now on, we see in her only the sense of regret for the disaster she brought upon herself, Rāma and others, and her grief over the separation from Rāma.

With Rāma, whose valor is
comparable to that of the thousand-eyed,
standing (firm and tall)
holding the bow and arrows in his hands,
you cannot digest me,

with a boulder tied to your neck and
trying to capture the sun and the moon
with your two bare hands.

agniṃ prajvalitaṃ dṛṣṭvā
vastrēṇāhartumicchasi ।
kālyāṇavṛttāṃ rāmasya
yō bhāryāṃhartumicchasi ॥
By trying to take the virtuous wife of Rāma,
you are trying to hold, with a cloth,
a blazing fire that you happen to see.
3.47.44 அயோமுகாநாம் ஸூலாநாம்
அக்ரே சரிதுமிச்சஸி ।
ராமஸ்ய ஸத்ருஸீம் பார்யாம்

ayōmukhānāṃ ṡūlānām
agrē caritumicchasi ।
rāmasya sadṛṡīṃ bhāryām
yō'dhigantuṃ tvamicchasi ॥
By trying to cross with someone like the wife of Rāma,
you are trying to walk on the iron spikes of a spear.

யதந்தரம் ஸ்யந்திநிகா ஸமுத்ரயோ: ।

yadantaraṃ siṃhāṡṛgālayōrvanē
yadantaraṃ syandinikā samudrayōḥ ।
surāgrya sauvīrakayōryadantaraṃ
tadantaraṃ vai tava rāghavasya ca ॥
There is that kind of difference
between you and Rāghava, that there is
between a jackal and a lion,
between a rivulet and an ocean and
between sour gruel and exquisite wine.
3.47.46 யதந்தரம் காஞ்சநஸீஸலோஹயோ-

ryadantaraṃ candanavāripaṅkayōḥ ।
yadantaraṃ hastibiḍālayōrvanē
tadantaraṃ dāṡarathēstavaiva ca ॥
There is that kind of difference
between you and the son of Daṡaratha,
that there is between lead and gold,
between mire and sandal paste and
between a house cat and a wild tusker.
3.47.47 யதந்தரம் வாயஸவைநதேயயோ-

There is that kind of difference
between you and the son of Daṡaratha,
that there is between a crow and Garuda,
between a cormorant and a peacock, and
between a vulture and a Sārasa bird in the Vana.
3.47.48 தஸ்மிந்ஸஹஸ்ராக்ஷஸமப்ரபாவே
ராமே ஸ்திதே கார்முகபாணபாணௌ ।

rāmē sthitē kārmukabāṇapāṇau ।
hṛtāpi tē'haṃ na jarāṃ gamiṣyē
vajraṃ yathā makṣikayā'vagīrṇam ॥
With Rāma, whose valor is
comparable to that of the thousand-eyed,
standing (firm and tall)
holding the bow and arrows in his hands,
you cannot digest me,
like a gem swallowed by a fly,
even if you succeed in abducting me.
3.47.49 இதீவ தத்வாக்யமதுஷ்டபாவா
ஸுதுஷ்டமுக்த்வா ரஜநீசரம் தம் ।

itīva tadvākyamaduṣṭabhāvā
suduṣṭamuktvā rajanīcaraṃ tam ।
gātraprakampādvyathitā babhūva
vātōddhatā sā kadalīva tanvī ॥
Having thus spoken to that evil night-rover,
she, who was far removed from any evil,
being the delicate one that she was,
her body shaking like a
banana plant in a violent wind,
was taken over by distress.
3.47.50 தாம் வேபமாநாமுபலக்ஷ்ய ஸீதாம்
ஸ ராவணோ ம்ருத்யுஸமப்ரபாவ: ।

tāṃ vēpamānāmupalakṣya sītāṃ
sa rāvaṇō mṛtyusamaprabhāvaḥ ।
kulaṃ balaṃ nāma ca karma cātmanaḥ
samācacakṣē bhayakāraṇārtham ॥
Seeing Seetā thus shaken,
Rāvaṇa, who was as dreadful as death,
recounted his name and lineage,
his power and his (terrible) deeds
in detail, to intimidate her:
இத்யார்ஷே வால்மீகீயே
ஸ்ரீமத்ராமாயணே ஆதிகாவ்யே
அரண்யகாண்டே ஸப்தசத்வாரிம்ஸஸ்ஸர்க: ॥
ityārṣē vālmīkīyē
ṡrīmadrāmāyaṇē ādikāvyē
araṇyakāṇḍē saptacatvāriṃṡassargaḥ ॥
Thus concludes the forty seventh Sarga
in Araṇya Kāṇḍa of the glorious Rāmāyaṇa,
the first ever poem of humankind,
composed by Maharshi Vālmeeki.
