It behove you to order sharp chastisement to be inflicted on that one of a fierce form, who, having carried on converse with Sītā, has laid your wood waste. Who, O Sovereign of the Rākşasas, that has not his life served from him, converse with Sītā, who has captivated your heart?"
तस्योग्ररूपस्योग्रं त्वं दण्डमाज्ञातुमर्हसि। सीता सम्भाषिता येन वनं तेन विनाशितम्॥ मनः परिगृहीतां तां तव रक्षोगणेश्वर। कः सीतामभिभाषेत यो न स्यात् त्यक्तजीवितः॥
