Kuntī–Sūrya-saṃvāda: Autonomy, Reputation, and the Promise of Karṇa
एवं बहुविधैर्वाक्यैरविन्ध्यो रावणं तदा । क़ुद्धं संशमयामास जगृहे च स तद्गच:,इस तरह अनेक प्रकारके वचनोंद्वारा अविन्ध्यने रावणका क्रोध शान्त किया और रावणने भी उसकी बात मान ली
evaṁ bahuvidhair vākyair avindhyo rāvaṇaṁ tadā | kruddhaṁ saṁśamayām āsa jagṛhe ca sa tad vacaḥ ||
وهكذا، بكلماتٍ شتّى مُحكَمة، هدّأ أفيندْهيا غضبَ رافانا في ذلك الحين؛ ورافانا بدوره قبل مشورتَه.
मार्कण्डेय उवाच
Measured, persuasive speech and wise counsel can pacify anger; accepting good advice is a mark of self-control and a prerequisite for dharmic action.
Mārkaṇḍeya narrates that Avindhya addresses the enraged Rāvaṇa with various arguments and words, successfully calming him, after which Rāvaṇa agrees to and accepts Avindhya’s counsel.
