Then the lord of Rākşasas, Rāvana, addressed the spies, who were heroic, faithful, calm, and courageous, Go hence, and acquaint yourselves with the exertions of Rama; as well as with those who, being the custodians of Rāma's close counsels, have gladly joined him (here).
तानब्रवीत्ततो वाक्यं रावणो राक्षसाधिपः। चरान्प्रत्यायिकाशूरान्धीरान्विगतसाध्वसान्॥ इतो गच्छत रामस्य व्यवसायं परीक्षितुम्। मन्त्रेष्वभ्यन्तरायेऽस्य प्रीत्या तेन समागताः॥
