Tannistha
Part1: Kekashi continues with her story : her repentance
Sita, full of tears and torn in emotions listens to the storm and the rising of the sea and predicts to Trijata:
This is the tears of all women in lanka, whose cause of peril is Ravan, the sign of the upcoming disaster, the sign of turmoil in her Raghunath's heart, the sign of the upcoming disaster and that of the doom of lanka.
Kekashi and Mandodary talking and the mother in law narrating her story.
K:
what a devastating storm seems like world is coming to an end. And it's my entire fault. I rowed the seeds of jealousy in him. Now it's reaping. He grew mad with this intense desire to win back lanka. He went to my father sumali and with his blessings he sent Prahasta as his messenger to Kuber.
Prahasta went to Kuber and after his greetings gave Ravan's message. He said Dasanan wants lanka , which once belonged to his forefathers. It's his humble request.
Kuber very well understood the threat behind the request and went to his father Vivaswan for advice.
Vivaswan knew what a dangerous animal Ravan had grown into and so he is becoming restless. It will be best if Kuber left lanka to ravan . he can stay at Kailash mountain beside river Mandakini.
Prahasta came back with good news.
Kekashi continues her story.
Dasanan got what he wanted. I was contended too.
On an auspicious eve, he was coroneted.
Ravan came and submitted the crown to his mother's feet. He got her heart full of blessings too for restoring the land of her forefathers.
The she exclaims to Mandodary:
My husband Vivaswan had cursed me that all my children except the youngest son will be Rakshashas, still I planted the seeds of jealousy and ignorance in ravan.
Now whole lanka is burning with his restless conquest, how many men , women died in this fire.
Mandodary tries to calm her but she is inconsolable.
Its all my fault and now I will have to witness the doom.
