“Had you been the wife of my son, you would have been my daughter-in-law.” Whereto Rambha replied. “Truly it is; I am, by virtue, the wife of your son, O foremost of Raksasas. Your brother Vaiśravana has a son, dearer than his life, celebrated in the three worlds under the name of Nalkūbara. In virtue he is like to a Brahmin, in prowess he equals a Kşatriya, in anger he is very fire and in patience he is like the earth. I have been thus directed by that Lokapāla's son.
सुतस्य यदि मे भार्या ततस्त्वं हि स्नषा भवेः। बाढमित्येव सा रम्भा प्राह रावणमुत्तरम्॥ धर्मतस्ते सुतस्याहं भार्या राक्षसपुङ्गव। पुत्रः प्रियतरः प्राणैर्धातुर्वैश्रवणस्य ते॥ विख्यातस्त्रिषु लोकेषु नलकूबर इत्ययम्। धर्मतो यो भवेद्विप्रः क्षत्रियो वीर्यतो भवेत्॥ क्रोधाद्यश्च भवेदग्निः क्षान्त्या च वसुधासमः। तस्यास्मि कृतसंकेता लोकपालसुतस्य वै॥
