Surpanakha's nose cut off from "summary" of Ramayan by P. R. Mitchell
In the Hindu epic tale, Surpanakha, the sister of Ravana, had her nose cut off by Lakshmana, the younger brother of Rama, as punishment for her aggressive behavior towards Sita, Rama's wife. This act of violence created a rift between Rama and Ravana, leading to a battle between them.- Once upon a time there was a woman called Surpanakha who had her nose cut off because of her rash behavior.
- Her brother then sought few rounds of revenge till they all ended up with her nose being brutally chopped off.
- When her advances were rejected by him she threatened to destroy his family and in turn was humiliated in response.
- This incident happened while she was visiting the kingdom and fell in love with one of the brothers living there.
- A classic event that shows us why we should handle our emotions well, the story of Surpanakah will definitely stay with us forever.
- The tale is so impactful that it still haunts us even today, teaching us a lesson from the previous era.
- It's a reminder of how powerful justice is above everything and how no amount of hatred or grudges can propel you any further when set against righteousness.
- It serves as an example to many of how far things can go when someone tries to take matters into their own hands without thinking of consequences.
- Since then this story has been passed generation to generation, keeping people cautious about risks of illegal and dangerous actions.
- As we look back at the legend today, let's appreciate its power to show us what happens when respect and civility are neglected.
