O amiable one, you, having been hard handled by the monkeys and distressed in consequence, deems it fit that Sītā should be rendered back this very day. What foe of mine is there who is competent to conquer me in battle?
त्वं तु सौम्य परित्रस्तो हरिभिः पीडितो भृशम्। प्रतिप्रदानमद्यैव सीतायाः साधु मन्यसे॥ को हि नाम सपत्नो मां समरे जेतुमर्हति।
