3.37.20

idaṃ vaco bandhuhitārthinā mayā yathocyamānaṃ yadi nābhipatsyase
sabāndhavas tyakṣyasi jīvitaṃ raṇe hato 'dya rāmeṇa śarair ajihmagaiḥ

The giant world could extirpate,
Since, when impetuous Khara sought
The grove of Janasthán and fought
For Súrpanakhá's sake, he died
By Ráma's hand in battle tried.
How has he wronged thee? Soothly swear,
And Ráma's fault and sin declare.
I warn thee, and my words are wise,
I seek thy people's weal:
But if this rede thou wilt despise.
Nor hear my last appeal,
Thou with thy kin and all thy friends
In fight this day wilt die,
When his great bow the hero bends,
And shafts unerring fly.'
