"Mandodari appears in the death scene of Ravana and laments over his death. In spite of all his faults, she loved him nonetheless and wanted him to make a truce with Rama so that he could avoid catastrophe. Compared to other four maidens, Mandodari's life is less colourful and eventful. Although she possessed all the necessary virtues of an obedient and faithful wife, Mandodari seldom got prominence as such. Her image lacks substance and fades away quickly."
