Ramayana · Chapter 3.047

sītāyā vacanaṃ śrutvā daśagrīvaḥ pratāpavān
haste hastaṃ samāhatya cakāra sumahad vapuḥ

sa maithilīṃ punar vākyaṃ babhāṣe ca tato bhṛśam
nonmattayā śrutau manye mama vīryaparākramau

udvaheyaṃ bhujābhyāṃ tu medinīm ambare sthitaḥ
āpibeyaṃ samudraṃ ca mṛtyuṃ hanyāṃ raṇe sthitaḥ

arkaṃ rundhyāṃ śarais tīkṣṇair vibhindyāṃ hi mahītalam
