Canto 3 -
Araṇya-kāṇḍa
Chapter 55: Rāvaṇa Flatters Sītā
Text 3.55.12
दीर्घिकाः पुष्करिण्यश्च नानावृक्षसमन्विताः।
रावणो दर्शयामास सीतां शोकपरायणाम्॥
dīrghikāḥ puṣkariṇyaś ca nānā-vṛkṣa-samāvṛtāḥ
rāvaṇo darśayām āsa sītāṁ śoka-parāyaṇām
dīrghikāḥ = lakes; puṣkariṇyaḥ = lotus ponds; ca = and; nānā-vṛkṣa-samāvṛtāḥ = surrounded by several trees; rāvaṇaḥ = Rāvaṇa [also]; darśayām āsa = showed; sītām = Sītā; śoka-parāyaṇām = [but] she was overcome with sorrow.
Rāvaṇa [also] showed Sītā lakes and lotus ponds surrounded by several trees [but] she was overcome with sorrow.
Śoka-parāyaṇām indicates that Sītā-devī could not tolerate [seeing anything that Rāvaṇa showed].
