3.28.50

tāṃ papraccha sa duṣṭātmā namrapūrvaṃ mṛdusvaram |
kā'si padmapalāśākṣi vane caikākinī priye ||

That villain asked Sîtâ humbly, in a gentle tone, “O beautiful! Your eyes are beautiful like Palâsa lotus leaves; therefore it seems that you are not an ordinary woman; how is it that you are here thus alone in a wild forest? O fair one! Who is your father? who is your brother and who is your husband? Being such a beautiful one, how is it that you are in this forest here like an ordinary woman, dumbfounded? O good looking one! You are worthy to live in a palace filled with nectar; why are you living, in this hovel, in this wild forest like an ordinary Muni’s wife, when your beauty is shining in lustrous beams like a Deva girl?”

Swami Vijnanananda 1921, The Sri Mad Devi Bhagavatam
