यदि ह्ुकामां सेवेत स्त्रियमन्यामपि ध्रुवम् । शतधास्य फलेन्मूर्था इत्युक्त: सो5भवत् पुरा,पूर्वकालमें रावणको यह शाप दिया गया था कि यदि यह उसे न चाहनेवाली किसी परायी स्त्रीका बलपूर्वक सेवन करेगा तो इसके मस्तकके सैकड़ों टुकड़े हो जायँगे
yadi hy akāmaṃ seveta striyam anyām api dhruvam | śatadhāsyā phalen mūrdhā ity uktaḥ so 'bhavat purā ||
বৰুণে ক’লে—যদি সি তেঁওক নচোৱা কোনো পৰস্ত্ৰীক, অৰ্থাৎ অন্য যিকোনো নাৰীক, বলপূৰ্বক ভোগ কৰিবলৈ যায়, তেন্তে নিশ্চয়েই তাৰ মূৰ শ শত খণ্ডত ফাটি যাব—এই শাপ পুৰ্বকালত তাৰ ওপৰত উচ্চাৰিত হৈছিল।

The verse underscores a dharmic boundary: violating an unwilling woman is a grave adharma that invites inevitable, catastrophic consequence. It frames coercion as morally and cosmically punishable.
Varuṇa recalls an earlier curse placed upon Rāvaṇa: if he ever forces himself upon an unwilling woman—any woman other than one who consents—his head will split into a hundred pieces. The statement functions as a remembered constraint and warning within the story.
