rama
several manuscripts of the "ramayana" mention a story in which angada drags mandodari by her hair in presence of ravana as a punishment for ravana's treatment of sita. satyatirtha, a commentator on "ramayana", dismisses this story as spurious. accoridng to this story: when all of ravana's sons and warriors die, ravana organizes a "yajna" ("fire sacrifice") to assure his victory. rama sends a troop of monkeys headed by hanuman and the monkey prince angada to destroy this "yajna". the monkeys create havoc in ravana's palace, but ravana continues the "yajna". angada drags mandodari by her hair in front of ravana. mandodari pleads to her husband to save her and reminds him what rama is doing for his wife. the enraged ravana abandons the "yajna" and strikes angada with his sword. with the "yajna" disturbed, angada's purpose is served and he leaves mandodari and escapes. mandodari again implores ravana to surrender sita to rama, but he refuses. other ramayana adaptations present more gruesome descriptions of the incident. the "krittivasi ramayan" narrates that the monkeys dragged mandodari and tore off her clothes. in "bicitra ramayana", it is hanuman who humiliates mandodari. the thai adaptation "ramakien" narrates a symbolic rape of mandodari. hanuman sleeps with her in the form of ravana and destroys her chastity, which protects ravana's life.
