Mahabharata
EnglishSītāharaṇa(ṃ) (“the carrying away of Sītā”). § 529 (cf. Rāmopākhyānap.). Rāvaṇa caused Mārīca to entice away Rāma by assuming the shape of a deer with golden horns and a golden skin. Seeing this deer Rāma pursued it, like Rudra pursuing the stellar deer (tārāmṛgaṃ) in days of yore
struck with Rāma's arrow Mārīca, imitating Rāma's voice cried out, calling upon Sītā and Lakshmaṇa. Lakshmaṇa, thinking that nobody was able to slay Rāma, at first inclined to stay there and protect Sītā, but as she suspected him, he set out on the track of Rāma. Then Rāvaṇa, in the guise of an ascetic, with shaven head and with a kuṇḍala and a triple staff, came to the hermitage and began to carry away Sītā to Laṅkā
on his way he was seen by the vulture Jaṭāyu (III, 278).
