bho laṅkeśvara dīyatāṃ janakajā rāmaḥ svayaṃ yācate
ko' yaṃ te mati-vibhramaḥ smara nayaṃ nādyāpi kiṃcid gatam |
naivaṃ cet khara-dūṣaṇa-triśirasāṃ kaṇṭhāsṛjā paṅkilaḥ
patrī naiṣa sahiṣyate mama dhanur jyā-bandha-bandhūkṛtaḥ ||
"O Lord of Laṅkā! Let Janaka's daughter be given back; Rāma himself implores you.
What delusion of mind is this of yours? Remember statecraft; even now nothing has been lost.
If it is not so, this arrow of mine, mud-stained with the neck-blood of Khara, Dūṣaṇa, and Triśiras,
fastened like a bandhūka blossom to the bowstring, will not tolerate it."

ity upakramya-kim āha rāvaṇaḥ ? re re mānuṣī-putra ! ayam asau akṣatriyo rāvaṇaḥ | kṣatriyo rāmaḥ | tad atra dṛśyatām | kataro vineyaḥ | kataro vinetā iti | kim āha rāmabhadraḥ ? haṃho amānuṣī-putra ! kṣatriyo rāmaḥ | ayam asau akṣatriyo rāvaṇaḥ | tad atra dṛśyatāṃ kataro vineyaḥ, kataro vinetā [9.26 padyād anantaraṃ] ity antena rāma-rāvaṇābhyāṃ sva-sāmarthya-prakhyāpanād vyavasāyaḥ |
beginning with this, and ending with: "What does Rāvaṇa say? 'O wretched son of a mortal woman! This Rāvaṇa here is a non-kṣatriya; Rāma is a kṣatriya. So let it be seen here: which of the two is to be disciplined, and which is the discipliner?' What does Rāmabhadra say? 'Ah, you wretched son of a non-mortal woman! Rāma is a kṣatriya; this Rāvaṇa here is a non-kṣatriya. So let it be seen here which is to be disciplined and which is the discipliner'"—because of the proclamation of their own capability by Rāma and Rāvaṇa, this is resolve.
