vṛthāgarjita-niśceṣṭā rākṣasyaḥ piśitāśanāḥ | rāvaṇāya śaśaṃsus tāḥ sītādhyavasitaṃ mahat ||
Finding their roaring threats futile, the flesh-eating demonesses reported to Rāvaṇa the great firmness of Sītā’s resolve.
"Janaki did not care for their words of threat, as though they were a blade of grass and of no use to her.
Truthful commitment to dharma creates moral strength that even enemies must acknowledge; coercion cannot easily bend a righteous will.
After failing to intimidate Sītā, the demonesses inform Rāvaṇa of her unwavering determination.
Sītā’s unwavering resolve—steadfast fidelity and commitment to righteousness.
