There is no greater sin on earth than carrying away another's wife. There are thousand ladies in your seraglio O king. Being attached to your wives do you preserve the race of the Rākşasas, your own line, your wished for life, kingdom, wealth and dignity.
परदाराभिमर्शात् तु नान्यत् पापतरं महत्। प्रमदानां सहस्राणि तव राजन् परिग्रहे॥ भव स्वदारनिरतः स्वकुलं रक्ष राक्षसान्। मानं वृद्धिं च राज्यं च जीवितं चेष्टमात्मनः॥
