In the fifiteen-century Anand Ramayan, the woman who rejects Ravan is Padmaksha, an incarnation of the goddess Lakshmi herself. Sita is said to be one of these wronged women reborn. Sita exists solely to be the cause of Ravan's destruction. She is Ram's wife but the object of Ravan's lust. She is bound to Ram by rules but Ravan craves her in passion. All humans beings can behave either as Ram or Ravan, obeying or disregarding the rules, because Ram and Ravan represent two ends of the human spectrum.

-D. Pattanaik
