THE RAMAYANA
न हि धर्मविरुद्धेषु बह्नपायेषु कर्मसु ।
मूलघातिषु सज्जन्ते बुद्धिमन्तो भवद्विधाः ॥
Wise men like you do not engage in
courses which are opposed to righteousness,
which involve many dangers and which
will destroy them at the very root.
तत् त्रिकालहितं वाक्यं धर्म्यमर्थानुबन्धि च ।
मन्यस्व नरदेवाय जानकी प्रतिदीयताम् ॥
Therefore pay heed to my advice which
will secure your welfare in the past,
present and future, which is based on
dharma and which follows the Sastra.
Give back Sita to Rama, the best of men.
तस्य तद्वचनं श्रुत्वा वानरस्य महात्मनः ।
आशापयद्वधं तस्य रावणः क्रोधमूछितः ॥
Hearing those words of the high-souled
monkey, Ravana, beside himself with
anger, ordered his killing.
वधे तस्य समाशप्ते रावणेन दुरात्मना ।
निवेदितवतो दौत्यं नानुमेने विभीषणः ॥
