Note 190 — YUDDHAKĀNDAM. (continued 4)
Manmatha Nath Dutt translation
Punjikasthalā cursed Rāvana that he should come by death if he should use violence on a woman against her inclination. Rāvana had not been cursed by Rambhā herself, but by Nala Kuvera in her interest. 'Thy head shall be sundered in seven when thou forcest a female against her will.' Umā had cursed Rāvana that for a woman he should meet with death on the shaking of the peak of Kailaça.—Nandiçwara had cursed him that as he had slighted and scoffed at him, he should find his fate at the hands of the monkeys, being emanations of himself.—T.
