27 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे अरण्यकाण्डे सप्तत्रिंशः सर्गः ॥३-३७॥ तच्छ्रुत्वा राक्षसेन्द्रस्य वाक्यं वाक्यविशारदः। प्रत्युवाच महातेजा मारीचो राक्षसेश्वरम्॥ १॥
In the venerable Valmiki Ramayana, in the Aranyakanda, the thirty-seventh canto. Having heard those words of the lord of the rakshasas, Maricha, greatly radiant and skilled in speech, replied to the lord of the rakshasas:
सुलभाः पुरुषा राजन् सततं प्रियवादिनः। अप्रियस्य च पथ्यस्य वक्ता श्रोता च दुर्लभः॥ २॥
There are always plenty of people, O King, who speak pleasing words. But a speaker of what is unpleasant yet wholesome, and a listener to it, are rare.
न नूनं बुध्यसे रामं महावीर्यगुणोन्नतम्। अयुक्तचारश्चपलो महेन्द्रवरुणोपमम्॥ ३॥
Surely you do not understand Rama, exalted by the qualities of great valor, undisciplined in conduct and fickle, comparable to Indra and Varuna.
अपि स्वस्ति भवेत् तात सर्वेषामपि रक्षसाम्। अपि रामो न संक्रुद्धः कुर्याल्लोकानराक्षसान्॥ ४॥
May there be well-being, dear one, for all the rākṣasas; may Rama, if he is not enraged, make the worlds free of rākṣasas.
अपि ते जीवितान्ताय नोत्पन्ना जनकात्मजा। अपि सीतानिमित्तं च न भवेद् व्यसनं महत्॥ ५॥
May Janaka’s daughter not have arisen for the end of your life. May no great calamity arise because of Sita.
