Overview
Trijaṭā interrupts the threats against Sītā in the Aśoka grove. Griffith calls her a wise, older rākṣasa matron and gives her a compassionate role unlike the threatening attendants. She says that a frightening dream foretells Rāma’s victory and the ruin of their own race.
Her dream shows the princes dressed in white, Sītā reunited with Rāma, and contrasting images of Rāvaṇa humiliated and carried south. It culminates in Laṅkā’s collapse beneath ocean waves. Trijaṭā urges the women to stop tormenting Sītā, console her and seek forgiveness. These are explicitly narrated dream images rather than events already taking place or a generic power attributed to all rākṣasa women.
