Reading Notes: The Golden Deer, Part B

The Golden Deer, from Indian Myth and Legend by Donald A. Mackenzie (1913).

Ravana has decided to steak Sita so that Rama is left weak without her. Maricha, the partner in crime, has turned into a golden deer that was decorated in gems and stones. When Sita told Rama she wanted the deer, he lept to catch it and as his bow pierced its heart Maricha lept out of the carcass and in Rama's voice caled out for Sita. Lakshmana had been left to guard Sita, and said it was probably an illusion and that she should not go. Sita asks and prods him to go after Rama and help him, and eventually he does.
Ravana takes the opportunity to dress as a forest sage and ask Sita what is wrong, since she is sad and alone. She tells him the story and he eventually reveals who he is and asks for her hand in marriage. Sita is furious at the trickery, and jabs at his pathetic attempt to woo her when she is the wife of a courageous warrior. Insulted, Ravana turns back into his monstrous form and steals her away. On his way home, he fights a bird king.

For whatever reason this scene made me think of fight milk, a weird scheme in the show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia when they try to sell crow's "milk" for an energy/gym drink 

Rama returns to the spot he left Sita, knowing she was kidnapped but having no idea where too.
