Trijata

Who Trijata is

Trijata was an elderly rakshasi among those set to guard Sita in the Ashoka grove of Lanka. When the others threatened Sita, Trijata told them of a dream she had had foretelling Rama’s victory and the fall of Ravana’s house, and urged them to treat Sita kindly. Later, when Sita saw Rama and Lakshmana lying bound on the battlefield, Trijata comforted her and assured her that they still lived.

“I dreamed of how this game would end. Shall we see if the dream was true?”
