Transliteration

nivāryamāṇaḥ suhṛdā mayā bhṛśaṃ prasahya sītāṃ yadi dharṣayiṣyasi | gamiṣyasi kṣīṇabalaḥ sabāndhavo yamakṣayaṃ rāmaśarāt tajīvitaḥ || 3.38.33 ||

Translation

Walaupun aku, sahabat yang menginginkan kebaikanmu, menahanmu dengan sekuatnya—jika engkau tetap merampas dan mencemari Sītā dengan paksaan, nyawamu akan direnggut oleh anak panah Rāma; bersama kaum kerabatmu, setelah kekuatanmu susut, engkau akan pergi ke alam Yama.

FAQs

Forcible violation of a woman is extreme adharma and invites certain destruction; dharma protects the innocent and ensures moral retribution.

Mārīca gives a final, explicit consequence: if Rāvaṇa abducts/assaults Sītā despite counsel, Rāma will kill him and his kin.

Courageous truth-telling: Mārīca risks displeasing a powerful king to speak what is right and necessary.
