38 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे युद्धकाण्डे चतुष्षष्ठितमः सर्गः ॥६-६४॥ तदुक्तमतिकायस्य बलिनो बाहुशालिनः। कुम्भकर्णस्य वचनं श्रुत्वोवाच महोदरः॥ १॥
In the glorious Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Yuddhakāṇḍa, the sixty-fourth canto. Having heard that speech of Kumbhakarṇa, the mighty, broad-armed son of Atikāya—so the text appears to construe with some uncertainty—Mahodara spoke.
कुम्भकर्ण कुले जातो धृष्टः प्राकृतदर्शनः। अवलिप्तो न शक्नोषि कृत्यं सर्वत्र वेदितुम्॥ २॥
Kumbhakarṇa, though born in a noble family, you are rash, of common outlook, arrogant; you are not able to understand what ought to be done in every situation.
नहि राजा न जानीते कुम्भकर्ण नयानयौ। त्वं तु कैशोरकाद् धृष्टः केवलं वक्तुमिच्छसि॥ ३॥
Indeed, the king does not fail to know what is proper and improper, O Kumbhakarṇa. But you, presumptuous through childish immaturity, merely wish to speak. 3
स्थानं वृद्धिं च हानिं च देशकालविधानवित्। आत्मनश्च परेषां च बुध्यते राक्षसर्षभः॥ ४॥
The foremost of the rākṣasas understands position, increase, and decline, as one who knows the conditions of place and time, both for himself and for others. 4
यत् त्वशक्यं बलवता वक्तुं प्राकृतबुद्धिना। अनुपासितवृद्धेन कः कुर्यात् तादृशं बुधः॥ ५॥
What cannot be spoken by a strong man of ordinary understanding who has not attended upon his elders—what wise person would do anything like that?
