Karandikar: Then, restraining his wrath with forgiveness, grief with courage, pride with modesty, embarassment with reason, powerlessness with determination, (Vibhisana) stood up with (his) four advisers;

Karandikar: - and said to that Lord of demons, "Oh mighty King, live happily without me. It is no fault of the physicians if a foolish patient not consuming bitter (though ) wholesome (medicine) remains afficted with disease.

Karandikar: A king void of reason, proud of himself, harbouring enmity when spoken to openly, and is highly delighted by unwholesome (things) that are pleasurable to the ear-Alas ! this is, indeed, a great disaster for friends.

Karandikar: Just as some person playing with a serpent and going from house to house lives in fear, so also it is an achievement of one that though serving an utterly foolish king one remains alive.

Karandikar: On account of your own faults, you have adminis tered a kick with the leg to me who abides by the righteous path. It ought to be considered by you along with your ) chief ministers, as to which one of us two should that (kick) bestow lowliness ?’

Karandikar: Forcefully addressing the Lord of the demons this speech full of many qualities, more than once, the dauntles (Vibhisana) went out from the capital of the enemy of men, for extolling the feet of King (Rama) which were praised (even) by the enemy.

Karandikar: Now, king (Rama), whose heart was great, delighted him who had approached, whose noble behaviour was announ ced through the words of (Hanuman ), the Son of the Wind, and whose retinue (also) was pleased with the showers water that were poured on his head by Rama indicative of his coronation and made him the lord of his own city, (viz., Lanka).
