48 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे सुन्दरकाण्डे द्वाविंशः सर्गः ॥५-२२॥ सीताया वचनं श्रुत्वा परुषं राक्षसेश्वरः। प्रत्युवाच ततः सीतां विप्रियं प्रियदर्शनाम्॥ १॥
In the revered Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Sundara Kāṇḍa, this is the twenty-second canto. Having heard Sītā’s harsh words, the lord of the rākṣasas then answered Sītā, who was lovely to behold, with words that were displeasing.
यथा यथा सान्त्वयिता वश्यः स्त्रीणां तथा तथा। यथा यथा प्रियं वक्ता परिभूतस्तथा तथा॥ २॥
The more one seeks to conciliate and is submissive to women, the more one is despised; the more one speaks pleasingly, the more one is despised. The repeated expressions leave the comparison general rather than stating an explicit subject.
संनियच्छति मे क्रोधं त्वयि कामः समुत्थितः। द्रवतो मार्गमासाद्य हयानिव सुसारथिः॥ ३॥
The desire that has arisen toward you restrains my anger, just as a good charioteer restrains running horses after reaching the road.
वामः कामो मनुष्याणां यस्मिन् किल निबध्यते। जने तस्मिंस्त्वनुक्रोशः स्नेहश्च किल जायते॥ ४॥
Human desire is perverse: in whatever person it becomes bound, compassion and affection arise toward that person.
एतस्मात् कारणान्न त्वां घातयामि वरानने। वधार्हामवमानार्हां मिथ्या प्रव्रजने रताम्॥ ५॥
For this reason I do not kill you, beautiful-faced woman, although you deserve to be killed, deserve contempt, and are devoted to a false ascetic practice.
