Shloka 6.95.36

युद्धकाण्डे पञ्चनवतितमः सर्गः (Sarga 95: Lamentation in Laṅkā and the Causal Chain of Enmity)

एषादेवैःप्रयुक्तातुक्षुद्यथादानवान् पुरा ।।।।भक्षयिष्यतिनःसीताराक्षसघ्नीसरावणान् ।

eṣā devaiḥ prayuktā tu kṣud yathā dānavān purā | bhakṣayiṣyati naḥ sītā rākṣasaghnī sa-rāvaṇān || 6.95.36 ||

This Sītā—set in motion by the gods—will consume the Rākṣasas along with Rāvaṇa, just as hunger once consumed the Dānavas.

"Just as hunger consumed Danavas earlier, this woman, instigated (by Devatas) will consume all Rakshasas and Ravana."

Dharma’s restoration can operate through dharmic suffering: Sītā’s ordeal becomes the causal turning-point that brings the oppressor to justice.

Śiva explicitly identifies the prophesied ‘woman’ as Sītā and declares that she will be the instrument leading to the destruction of Rāvaṇa and the Rākṣasas.

Sītā’s moral force (satya and steadfastness) is implied as transformative—her purity becomes the pivot of cosmic justice.
