24 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे बालकाण्डे पञ्चविंशः सर्गः ॥१-२५॥ अथ तस्याप्रमेयस्य मुनेर्वचनमुत्तमम्। श्रुत्वा पुरुषशार्दूलः प्रत्युवाच शुभां गिरम् ॥१-२५-१॥
In the revered Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Bālakāṇḍa, is the twenty-fifth sarga. Then, having heard the excellent words of that immeasurable sage, the tiger among men replied with auspicious speech.

When the yakṣī is said to be of little strength, O best of sages, how does the powerless woman bear the strength of a thousand nāgas (elephants)?

Hearing these words spoken by Rāghava of immeasurable splendor, he gladdened the enemy-subduer together with Lakṣmaṇa with gentle speech.

Viśvāmitra said: “Hear by what means she is exceedingly powerful: the powerless woman bears the might produced by a boon.”
पूर्वमासीन्महायक्षः सुकेतुर्नाम वीर्यवान् । अनपत्यः शुभाचारः स च तेपे महत्तपः ॥१-२५-५॥
Formerly there was a mighty great yakṣa named Suketu. He was childless and of virtuous conduct, and he performed great austerity.
