Full sarga summary
Encamped at Kailasa on a moonlit, spring-laden night, the lust-struck Ravana seizes the apsara Rambha, who pleads that she is his daughter-in-law, betrothed to Kubera's son Nalakubara -- he violates her nonetheless -- told of the outrage, Nalakubara curses that if Ravana ever forces an unwilling woman his head shall split into seven pieces, and the gods rejoice, for the curse will one day shield Sita.
