Shloka 10
How does she express/deploy her Purushakaaram? When she is with the Lord, she corrects him, and when she is away from Him, she corrects the individual aatma.
When she is with the Lord, when the Lord gets angry with an individual aatma she changes his mind by recommending the aatma for moksha. When she is away from Him, she corrects the individual soul by changing its mind to become fixed on the Lord and seek His Sharanagati.

Shloka 8
The Lady (in Sri Ramayana) separated first time to demonstrate Her Compassion; In the middle, (second time) to demonstrate her dependence on the Lord (Paratantryam); Final time to demonstrate her complete and only dependence on the Lord (Ananyaarhatvam).
Let us see how:
While the popular history states that Ravana separated her from the Lord, She remained a prisoner along with the wifes of devas in the prison, showing her compassion towards them and in the end getting them freed upon Ravana's death. Again during the same situation, even though She was apparently harmed/tortured mentally by the rakshasa women that were guarding her in Ashoka vana, she saved them from punishment upon Ravana's defeat, again demonstrating her compassionate nature.
The second separation came after she had become the queen of Ayodhya, when the Lord sends her to forest. She spent her time in the hermitage of Saint Valimiki. During this separation she demonstrates her implicit obedience of the Lord's order arising from "paratantrayam". She could have decided to end her life right at that time- but she did not do that citing reasons to Lakshmana that such an act would lead to bad name for Rama.
The third separation came when she decided to go under the earth (from where she ascended to her abode of Sri Vaikuntha). At this time, she states," May the earth show me the way if I have never thought of anybody else in my life other than my Lord"

Shloka -7 (Resuming posts)
When doing "Purushakaram" (qualities needed are) Kripai (Compassion/Grace), Paratantriyam (Being dependent on the Lord), and Ananyaarhatvam (Dependence only on the Lord).
Why are these three qualities important?
Compassion is "inability to bear the sufferings of others". When recommending the Jeevatma to the Lord for Moksha (doing Purushakaaram), it is out of the inability to see the suffering of the Jeevatma in the Samsara.
Paratantrayam is "being outside Him, but being dependent on Him". All Jeevatmas are Paratantrans to the Lord. The Lord created this Universe by transforming His own body merely by Sankalpam that "I wish to transform into the Universe". He is therefore the owner of all that is visible and invisible (material and non-material, chit and achit). When doing recommendation, the Lord may not be willing to listen. It is She, the Lord's consort, being dependent on Him, makes Him listen to Her recommendation.
Ananyarhatvam is being dependent only on Him - not having anybody else to go to with the recommendation. When She goes the Lord with the recommendation that He should acknowledge this particular Jeevatma, the Lord think - She does not have any other place to go to with this request - therefore she is only doing this for Me".
