“Or I think that while being carried away and travelling through the aerial path, which is attended by the Siddhas [perfect beings], that noble lady’s heart sunk after seeing the ocean below. Or I think that on account of the tremendous speed of the flight and the force of Ravana’s arms that wide-eyed and noble lady gave up her life.” (Valmiki Ramayana, Sundara Kand, 13.8-9)
