Women in Ramayan Part 22/ Trijata | Day 2850

Trijata is another rakshasi (demoness) assigned to guard Sita who was kidnapped by the demon-king of Lanka Ravana. In later adaptations of Ramayana, Trijata is also described as the daughter of Vibhishana, brother of Ravana but why she plays the role of a daasi is unclear. Some versions of Ramayan depict Trijata accompanying Sita on a survey of the battlefield of the war between Rama and Ravana.  When Sita sees her husband unconscious and presumes him dead it is Trijata who assures Sita that all will be well soon.
