3.3.7

utsṛjya pramadām enām anapekṣau yathāgatam
tvaramāṇau pālayethāṃ na vāṃ jīvitam ādade

To Ráma, bravest of the brave,
His answer thus Virádha gave:
'Hear, Raghu's son, and mark me well,
And I my name and race will tell.
Of S'atahradá born, I spring
From Java as my sire, O King:
Me, of this lofty lineage, all
Giants on earth Virádha call.
The rites austere I long maintained
From Brahmá's grace the boon have gained
To bear a charmed frame which ne'er
Weapon or shaft may pierce or tear.
Go as ye came, untouched by fear,
And leave with me this woman here;
Go, swiftly from my presence fly,
Or by this hand ye both shall die.'

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1870, The Rámáyan of Válmíki, translated into English verse
