Khara of Janasthāna is highly wicked and if Rāma of blameless actions has killed him on Surpanakha's account how is he to blame? Why do you then carry away the wife of that lord of men?
यदि शूर्पणखाहेतोर्जनस्थानगतः खरः। अतिवृत्तो हतः पूर्वं रामेणाक्लिष्टकर्मणा॥ अत्र ब्रूहि यथातत्वं का रामस्य व्यतिक्रमः। यस्य त्वं लोकनाथस्य हृत्वा भार्यां गमिष्यसि॥
