Sanskrit: मनुजेन्द्रार्तरूपेण यदुक्तस्त्वं हनूमता। तदयुक्तमहं मन्ये सागरस्येव शोषणम्॥
English: O king, all that Hanumān in distressful guise had communicated to you I deem as improbable, like to the drying of the deep.
Sanskrit: अभिप्रायं तु जानामि रावणस्य दुरात्मनः। सीतां प्रति महाबाहो न च घातं करिष्यति॥
English: I know the intent of the impious Rāvana with reference to Sita, O mighty-armed one. Her he will not slay.
