30 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे सुन्दरकाण्डे द्विपञ्चाशः सर्गः ॥५-२॥ स तस्य वचनं श्रुत्वा वानरस्य महात्मनः। आज्ञापयद् वधं तस्य रावणः क्रोधमूर्च्छितः॥ १॥
In the revered Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Sundara-kāṇḍa, the fifty-second chapter: Having heard the words of that great-souled monkey, Rāvaṇa, overcome by anger, ordered his killing.
वधे तस्य समाज्ञप्ते रावणेन दुरात्मना। निवेदितवतो दौत्यं नानुमेने विभीषणः॥ २॥
When the killing of him had been ordered by the wicked-souled Rāvaṇa, Vibhīṣaṇa did not approve the killing of one who had reported his mission. The form निवेदितवतो is construed here in connection with the one who had reported the embassy or mission; its exact syntactic relation is somewhat compressed in the transmitted wording.
तं रक्षोऽधिपतिं क्रुद्धं तच्च कार्यमुपस्थितम्। विदित्वा चिन्तयामास कार्यं कार्यविधौ स्थितः॥ ३॥
Having learned that the enraged lord of the Rākṣasas and that task were before him, he reflected, standing firm in the proper course of action.
निश्चितार्थस्ततः साम्ना पूज्यं शत्रुजिदग्रजम्। उवाच हितमत्यर्थं वाक्यं वाक्यविशारदः॥ ४॥
Then, having settled the matter, the one skilled in speech addressed with conciliation the venerable elder brother of the conqueror of foes, speaking words exceedingly beneficial.
क्षमस्व रोषं त्यज राक्षसेन्द्र प्रसीद मे वाक्यमिदं शृणुष्व। वधं न कुर्वन्ति परावरज्ञा दूतस्य सन्तो वसुधाधिपेन्द्राः॥ ५॥
“Forgive the anger, O lord of the Rākṣasas; abandon your wrath. Be gracious to me and hear this speech of mine. The virtuous supreme lords of the earth, who know what is higher and lower, do not kill a messenger.
