THE RAMAYANA
लङ्कैश्वर्यं ध्रुवं श्रीमान् अयं प्राप्
Here is Vibhishana, the righteous-
minded and the foremost of the Raksh-
asas. The auspicious one will certainly
get all the lordship of Lanka, rid of all
obstacles.
न हि राज्यमधर्मेण भोक्तुं क्षणमपि त्वया ।
शक्यं मूर्खसहायेन पापेनाविदितात्मना ॥
It is impossible for you to enjoy your
kingdom even for a moment, aided by
fools and sinful as you are, and unable to
restrain yourself.
मम चक्षुष्पथं प्राप्य न जीवन् प्रतियास्यसि ॥
If you once come within my sight, you
can never return alive."
इत्वुक्तः स तु तारेयो रामेणाक्लिष्टकर्मणा ।
तद्रामवचनं सर्वम् अन्यूनाधिकमुत्तमम् ।
सामात्यं श्रावयामास निवेद्यात्मानमात्मना ॥
