There is a river, O king, of the name of Sita. Boats sink in it. This your kingdom is like that river. An all-destructive net appears to have been cast around it.
न्यायतो दुष्कृते घात: सुकृते न कथंचन। नेह युक्तं स्थिरं स्थातुं जवेनैवाव्रजेद् बुधः॥ सीता नाम नदी राजन् प्लवो यस्यां निमज्जति। तथोपमामिमां मन्ये वागुरां सर्वघातिनीम्॥
