'This mechanical Sītā, whose wooden limbs are moved by a puppeteer,
shall deceive the lord of Laṅkā with the speech of a maina bird placed in her mouth.'"

3.100.p1

— [Bālarāmāyaṇa 5.5]

3.100.p2

— beginning with this, and ending with: Rāvaṇa (observing again the mechanical effigy of Sītā with the maina installed in her mouth): "Oh, clever Māyāmaya! You have deceived me by presenting an effigy of King Janaka's daughter" [after verse 5.20] — because of the arrangement of deceitful words by Mālyavān, this is fabrication of the unreal (abhūtāharaṇa).
