मुझे फूल मत मारो, मैं अबला बाला वियोगिनी, कुछ तो दया विचारो। होकर मधु के मीत मदन, पटु, तुम कटु गरल न गारो, मुझे विकलता, तुम्हें विफलता, ठहरो, श्रम परिहारो। नही भोगनी यह मैं कोई, जो तुम जाल पसारो, बल हो तो सिन्दूर-बिन्दु यह--यह हरनेत्र निहारो! रूप-दर्प कंदर्प, तुम्हें तो मेरे पति पर वारो, लो, यह मेरी चरण-धूलि उस रति के सिर पर धारो!

Rama Spurns Surpanakha

This poignant illustration captures a pivotal moment from the Ramayana, where the demoness Surpanakha approaches Lord Rama in the forest, attempting to seduce him with her transformed beauty. Warwick Goble portrays the moment of rejection, where Rama, the embodiment of dharma and righteousness, turns away from her advances to remain faithful to Sita. The forest setting is rendered with an ethereal quality, emphasizing the spiritual gravity of the encounter. Rama is depicted with his iconic blue complexion, radiating calm resolve, while the demoness is shown in a state of emotional turmoil, grounding the divine narrative in a deeply human experience of longing and moral choice.
