The real yogyatha of Ravana!

Please share this by copying and pasting this as much as possible so that people who praise Ravana that he didn't rape Sita and waited for her consent, will know his real Lakshanam and Yogyatha.

Below, I am presenting the rough translation of verses that occur in Valmiki Ramayanam, Yudhdhakaandam, Sargam 13, Verses 1 to 14.  

(6-13-1 to 6-13-14)

This is where a Rakshasa by name Mahaparswa advises Ravanan to rape Sita and Ravana says why he has considered that option but rejected it, which is due to a curse he got from Brahma after raping an Apsaras.

Perceiving Ravana enraged, a very strong demon named Mahaparsva thought for a while and with joined palms, spoke as follows:

"That man indeed is a fool, who after reaching a forest inhabited by wild beasts and vicious elephants and having duly found honey, does not drink it."

"O, annihilator of enemies! Who is a lord to you, who are a lord of all? Setting your foot upon the heads of your enemies, take pleasure with Sita."

"O, ruler endowed with a mighty prowess! Act in the mode of a cock, forcibly against her. Enjoy that Sita, by charging on her again and again and revel with her."

"Kumbhakarna and Indrajit of great might together with us are capable of keeping off even Devendra (god of celestials), wielding the weapon of a thunderbolt."

"Overstepping the methods of giving away gifts or conciliation or even showing dissention being followed by right men, I like accomplishment of actions through hostile means."

Appreciating the words spoken thus by Mahaparsva, King Ravana spoke the following words:

"O, Mahaparsva! Know a little secret about me. I shall tell you an incident, which occurred to me long ago."

"Once I saw a celestial nymph, Punjikasthala(by name) flashing like a flame, concealing herself in the sky and proceeding towards the abode of Brahma."

"She was made unclothed by me and was enjoyed forcibly. Thereafter, appearing like a crumpled lotus, she went to the abode of Brahma."

"I think that the matter was made known to the high soled Brahama and then the enraged Brahma spoke to me the following words:

"From today onwards, if you revel with any other woman forcibly, your head then undoubtedly will break asunder into a hundred pieces."

"Fearing the curse given in this manner by Brahma, I am not violently making Sita the daughter of Videha, to mount on my beautiful bed forcibly."

Please share this as much as possible so that people who praise Ravana will know his Lakshanam and Yogyatha.
