28 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे युद्धकाण्डे षोडशः सर्गः ॥६-१६॥ सुनिविष्टं हितं वाक्यमुक्तवन्तं विभीषणम्। अब्रवीत् परुषं वाक्यं रावणः कालचोदितः॥ १॥
The sixteenth chapter of the glorious Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Yuddha Kāṇḍa. Rāvaṇa, impelled by fate, spoke harsh words to Vibhīṣaṇa, who had uttered a well-considered and beneficial speech.
वसेत् सह सपत्नेन क्रुद्धेनाशीविषेण च। न तु मित्रप्रवादेन संवसेच्छत्रुसेविना॥ २॥
One might live together with a rival, even with an enraged serpent; but one should not live together with a man who speaks as a friend while serving an enemy.
जानामि शीलं ज्ञातीनां सर्वलोकेषु राक्षस। हृष्यन्ति व्यसनेष्वेते ज्ञातीनां ज्ञातयः सदा॥ ३॥
I know the conduct of kinsmen in all the worlds, O Rākṣasa. These kinsmen rejoice in misfortunes; kinsmen always rejoice in the misfortunes of their relatives.
प्रधानं साधकं वैद्यं धर्मशीलं च राक्षस। ज्ञातयोऽप्यवमन्यन्ते शूरं परिभवन्ति च॥ ४॥
The prominent, capable, learned physician, and the one devoted to righteousness, O Rākṣasa, even kinsmen disregard; they also slight the brave.
नित्यमन्योन्यसंहृष्टा व्यसनेष्वाततायिनः। प्रच्छन्नहृदया घोरा ज्ञातयस्तु भयावहाः॥ ५॥
Kinsmen, always delighting in one another’s misfortunes and acting as aggressors in times of distress, are dreadful, secret-hearted, and truly fear-inspiring.
