कृताभिषेको युवराजराज्ये सुग्रीवराजेन सताविशेषम् । |
50. "Coronated, as not different from his own (son), to the office of the Crown-Prince by King Sugriva who was to be guided by Tara, how will (Aigada), the son of Tara, undergo a change for the sake of a demon ?
51. I do not perceive another one superior or equal to Rama whom we can confront in conflict ; the self-born Creator is repentant after having given a boon (to you), (and) Indra and others have been opposed (to you) since long back
52. For those who take shelter in a fortress, Oh King, (there does arise), after a long time, a cause (of trouble), like seizure by the rear troops (or kings) and others. But, for the enemy who lays a seige on the fortress, Oh Ravana, there is no loss, even after long.
53. (Their) weapon, viz., trees and mountains, drink, viz., water, livelihood on fruits, with no elephants, horses and women, and no country (to be left) behind—say, what evil can befall the enemy.
54. Therefore, let there only be peace with the enemy; no other means is being perceived. Verily, if you make no peace, the monkeys will, before long, reduce all this to ruin."
