In some versions on the epic, Maya Sita, an illusion made by Agni, usually takes Sita's place and it is abducted by Ravana and suffers his captivity, although the true Sita hides in the fireplace. Some scriptures also mention her preceding birth as Vedavati, a lady Ravana tries to molest.[16] https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RRJOKXB8Nr4
