Ramayana · Chapter 6.017

tad vacaḥ pathyam aklībaṃ sāraṇenābhibhāṣitam
niśamya rāvaṇo rājā pratyabhāṣata sāraṇam

yadi mām abhiyuñjīran devagandharvadānavāḥ
naiva sītāṃ pradāsyāmi sarvalokabhayād api

tvaṃ tu saumya paritrasto haribhir nirjito bhṛśam
pratipradānam adyaiva sītāyāḥ sādhu manyase
ko hi nāma sapatno māṃ samare jetum arhati

ity uktvā paruṣaṃ vākyaṃ rāvaṇo rākṣasādhipaḥ
