I am Rāvana's younger brother and have been greatly insulted by him. I have therefore come to seek your shelter, the refuge of all creatures, abandoning Lanka and renouncing my friends and riches. My kingdom, life and happiness are all at your disposal.
अनुजो रावणस्याहं तेन चास्म्यवमानितः॥ भवन्तं सर्वभूतानां शरण्यं शरणं गतः। परित्यक्ता मया लङ्का मित्राणि च धनानि च॥ भवद्गतं हि मे राज्यं जीवितं च सुखानि च।
