Do you accept, Rāvana, the lord of the Rākşasa host, as your husband. He withstands powerfully his enemies like to Vāsava, the lord of the celestials, charitable, kind to all, and sweet-speeched. And forsaking Rāma, a poor wight, do you take Rāvana (as your husband)
रावणं भज भर्तारं भर्तारं सर्वरक्षसाम्। विक्रान्तमापतन्तं च सुरेशमिव वासवम्॥ दक्षिणं त्यागशीलं च सर्वस्य प्रियवादिनम्। मानुषं कृपणं रामं त्यक्त्वा रावणमाश्रय॥
