Ramayana · Chapter 6.027

tat tu mālyavato vākyaṃ hitam uktaṃ daśānanaḥ
na marṣayati duṣṭātmā kālasya vaśam āgataḥ

sa baddhvā bhrukuṭiṃ vaktre krodhasya vaśam āgataḥ
amarṣāt parivṛttākṣo mālyavantam athābravīt

hitabuddhyā yad ahitaṃ vacaḥ paruṣam ucyate
parapakṣaṃ praviśyaiva naitac chrotragataṃ mama

mānuṣaṃ kṛpaṇaṃ rāmam ekaṃ śākhāmṛgāśrayam
samarthaṃ manyase kena tyaktaṃ pitrā vanālayam

rakṣasām īśvaraṃ māṃ ca devatānāṃ bhayaṃkaram
hīnaṃ māṃ manyase kena ahīnaṃ sarvavikramaiḥ

vīradveṣeṇa vā śaṅke pakṣapātena vā ripoḥ
tvayāhaṃ paruṣāṇy uktaḥ paraprotsāhanena vā

prabhavantaṃ padasthaṃ hi paruṣaṃ ko 'bhidhāsyati
paṇḍitaḥ śāstratattvajño vinā protsāhanād ripoḥ

ānīya ca vanāt sītāṃ padmahīnām iva śriyam
kimarthaṃ pratidāsyāmi rāghavasya bhayād aham

vṛtaṃ vānarakoṭībhiḥ sasugrīvaṃ salakṣmaṇam
paśya kaiś cid ahobhis tvaṃ rāghavaṃ nihataṃ mayā

dvandve yasya na tiṣṭhanti daivatāny api saṃyuge
sa kasmād rāvaṇo yuddhe bhayam āhārayiṣyati

dvidhā bhajyeyam apy evaṃ na nameyaṃ tu kasya cit
eṣa me sahajo doṣaḥ svabhāvo duratikramaḥ

yadi tāvat samudre tu setur baddho yadṛcchayā
rāmeṇa vismayaḥ ko 'tra yena te bhayam āgatam

sa tu tīrtvārṇavaṃ rāmaḥ saha vānarasenayā
pratijānāmi te satyaṃ na jīvan pratiyāsyati

evaṃ bruvāṇaṃ saṃrabdhaṃ ruṣṭaṃ vijñāya rāvaṇam
vrīḍito mālyavān vākyaṃ nottaraṃ pratyapadyata

jayāśiṣā ca rājānaṃ vardhayitvā yathocitam
mālyavān abhyanujñāto jagāma svaṃ niveśanam

rāvaṇas tu sahāmātyo mantrayitvā vimṛśya ca
