PRAGHASĀ I : A rākṣasī (demoness). She was one among the several leading demonesses who sat around Sītā in Laṅkā to coax her into accepting Rāvaṇa as her husband. An ill-tempered woman, this demoness tried several methods to win Sītā to the side of Rāvaṇa. (Sarga 23, Sundara Kāṇḍa, Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa).
