28 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे अरण्यकाण्डे तृतीयः सर्गः ॥३-३॥ अथोवाच पुनर्वाक्यं विराधः पूरयन् वनम्। पृच्छतो मम हि ब्रूतं कौ युवां क्व गमिष्यथः॥ १॥
In the glorious Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Araṇya Kāṇḍa, the third sarga. Then Virādha again spoke words, filling the forest: 'Since I am asking, tell me indeed—who are you two, and where will you go?'
तमुवाच ततो रामो राक्षसं ज्वलिताननम्। पृच्छन्तं सुमहातेजा इक्ष्वाकुकुलमात्मनः॥ २॥
Then Rāma, of exceedingly great splendor, spoke to that demon with the blazing face, who was asking about his Ikṣvāku lineage.
क्षत्रियौ वृत्तसम्पन्नौ विद्धि नौ वनगोचरौ। त्वां तु वेदितुमिच्छावः कस्त्वं चरसि दण्डकान्॥ ३॥
Know us two to be Kṣatriyas, accomplished in conduct and dwelling in the forest. We wish to know you: who are you, and why do you roam through the Daṇḍaka forests? ॥3॥
तमुवाच विराधस्तु रामं सत्यपराक्रमम्। हन्त वक्ष्यामि ते राजन् निबोध मम राघव॥ ४॥
Virādha then said to Rāma of true valor: “Well, O king, I shall tell you; listen to what I say, O Rāghava.”
पुत्रः किल जवस्याहं माता मम शतह्रदा। विराध इति मामाहुः पृथिव्यां सर्वराक्षसाः॥ ५॥
“I am said to be the son of Java, and Śatahradā is my mother. All the Rākṣasas on earth call me Virādha.”
