Dear Sriman Sadagopan,
Sreemathe Ramanujaya Namaha:
In the Divine Drama the inner meaning is as I have tried to describe. This 
is not my imagination. It is what I have gleaned from listening to eminent 
Scholars of Ubhaya Vedanta. Sita Piratti is enacting the role of Jeevathma 
and SHE IS NOT just a Jeevathma. She is Divine Mother Herself. If you read 
the whole article it is only mentioned that the Vedic Shastras are 
incorporated as inner meanings in the Divine story of Ramayanam as well as 
in Bhaagavatham and Mahaa Bhaaratam or for that matter in the various 
Puraanaas. Also Anjaneya's role in Sundera Kandam is akin to that of an 
Acharya. Here the roles of Acharya, Jeevathma, the Ananya Sharanatvam and 
Paativratyam as enumerated by the Behaviour of Seeta Piratti in Asokavanam, 
the nature of Lanka, Ravana, his ten heads all have inner meanings. Why 
would the Lord come down to the Marthya Loka? Why would the Divine Mother 
who could have simply turned Ravana into nothing by Her Sankalpam suffer 
Herself to be abducted and then suffer the insults heaped upon Her by Ravana 
and his minions? What does the Meya Mrigam episode teach us?
How can the Divine Mother not know that no golden deer exists? Can the 
Divine Mother or The Lord commit any sin at all?
Seeta Piratti says that she could turn Ravana into ashes just by Her Tejus 
and does not wish to liberate Herself. She wishes to be liberated by none 
other than The Lord Himself. What does that tell us? Though She is all 
powerful like The Lord She has only revealed by these the Ananya Sharanatvam 
etc as enumerated in the Vaishnava Philosophy of Sri Ramanuja Darsanam.
In Bhagavat Geeta The Lord says that there is nothing in these three worlds 
He covets or wishes to achieve. The same goes for The Divine Mother.
Why would the Lord consent to be a student of Sage Viswamithra or Vasishta 
or Saandeepani? Where is the necessity for this when all knowledge emanates 
from the Lord.
The moral of the story is that they only enact a drama for us to learn from 
it. They are only ACTING. By that token The Divine Mother also is enacting a 
role in the entire Raamaayanam and Sri Anjaneya as well.
Ultimately the greatest truth spoken by all great sages is that all of this 
are His Leelas, His sport. He is the story teller, the script writer, the 
director, the editor and the impartial witness as well. He has created the 
sets required for shooting the picture as well as the tools. He is the best 
actor and the Divine Mother the best actress as it was said by Anbil Mama 
according to one mail in Srirangasri. There is no way one can define this 
Srushti and the happenings in it and the all knowing sages , Rushis and 
Munis have no more answers beyond this. Our Alwars and Acharyas take us 
nearer and nearer to the source of all this so that we can, with the Grace 
of The Lord and His Divine Consort experience His splendour.
Jai Srimannarayana:

Adiyen,
Ramanuja Dasan.
