6.26.7

saṃdadhāno hi kālena vigṛhṇaṃś cāribhiḥ saha
svapakṣavardhanaṃ kurvan mahad aiśvaryam aśnute

He ceased, his mother's sire well known
For wisdom in the council shown,
Malyaván *, sage and faithful guide.
Thus to the monarch's speech replied:
'Long reigns the king in safe repose.
Unmoved by fear of vanquished foes,
Whose feet* by saving knowledge led
In justice's* path delight to tread:
Who knows to sheath the sword or wield,
To sue for peace*, to strike or yield:

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