dasa mugan is Ravana and pirAtti is Sita. The word seRRal either means
to destroy or to hate/look down. It is not appropriate to say the Sita
destroyed Ravana or was even responsible for his destruction. Even
though She could have killed him by Herself, She did not do so. In
fact, She tried Her best to make Ravana see reason and surrender
himself to Sri Rama. She gave up Her ability to destroy Ravana or save
Herself and waited for Rama to come and rescue Her.
What She did was to look down upon Ravana, his wealth (which amazed
even Hanuman) and the pleasures that he pointed out to Sita to try
and tempt Her. She treated them as dirt (note the incident when She
placed a
piece of grass between Herself and Ravana and addressed it
when talking to him). She was willing to stay imprisoned (siRai
irundhavaL) and suffer the torture rather than agree to his advances.
She placed both Her body and soul as belonging to Rama and keeping
Him in Her mind always, She just waited for Him.
Thirukkolur Ammal asks "Can I be like Piratti and place everything
completely in His hands?"
