Sanskrit: त्वद्वाक्यैर्न तु मां शक्यं भेत्तुं रामस्य संयुगे। मूर्खस्य पापशीलस्य मानुषस्य विशेषतः॥
English: I shall not be frightened thereby to fight with that foolish Rāma—a human being of vicious deeds.
Sanskrit: यस्त्यक्त्वा सुहदो राज्यं मातरं पितरं तथा। स्त्रीवाक्यं प्राकृतं श्रुत्वा वनमेकपदे गतः॥ अवश्यं तु मया तस्य संयुगे खरघातिनः। प्राणैः प्रियतरा सीता हर्तव्या तव संनिधौ॥
English: Surely shall I before you take away from that Rāma the destroyer of Khara his favourite wife, at whose words he has sojourned into woods renouncing his father mother, kingdom and friends.
Sanskrit: एवं मे निश्चिता बुद्धिर्हदि मारीच विद्यते। न व्यावर्तयितुं शक्या सेन्ट्रैरपि सुरासुरैः॥
English: I have made this firm resolution in my mind O, Marica; even Indra, with the celestials and Asuras shall not be able to shake it.
