44 passagesततो रामो महातेजा विस्मयात्पुनरेव हि । उवाच प्रणतो वाक्यमगस्त्यमृषिसत्तमम् ।। ७.३१.१ ।।
Then Rama, greatly radiant, again indeed, overcome with astonishment, spoke, bowing, these words to Agastya, the best of sages:
भगवन्राक्षसः क्रूरो यदाप्रभृति मेदिनीम् । पर्यटत्किं तदा लोकाः शून्या आसन्द्विजोत्तम ।। ७.३१.२ ।।
O blessed one, when that cruel Rākṣasa began to roam over the earth, were the worlds then empty, O best of twice-born ones?
राजा वा राजमात्रो वा किं तदा नात्र कश्चन । धर्षणं यत्र न प्राप्तो रावणो राक्षसेश्वरः ।। ७.३१.३ ।।
Was there then no king, or even a mere king, here at all—anyone against whom Ravana, the lord of the rakshasas, did not attain assault or conquest?
उताहो हतवीर्यास्ते बभूवुः पृथिवीक्षितः । बहिष्कृता वरास्त्रैश्च बहवो निर्जिता नृपाः ।। ७.३१.४ ।।
Or did those rulers of the earth become deprived of their valor, and were many kings cast out and defeated by superior weapons?
राघवस्य वचः श्रुत्वा ह्यगस्त्यो भगवानृषिः । उवाच रामं प्रहसन्पितामह इवेश्वरम् ।। ७.३१.५ ।।
Having heard Raghava's words, the blessed sage Agastya spoke to Rama, smiling, as the Grandsire would speak to the Lord.
