Sāvitrī–Satyavān Vivāha: Kanyāpradāna and Āśrama-Śīla (सावित्री-सत्यवान्विवाहः)
शशंस रावणस्तस्मै तत् सर्व रामचेष्टितम् । समासेनैव कार्याणि क्रोधामर्षसमन्वित:,रावण क्रोध और अमर्षमें भरा हुआ था। उसने एक-एक करके रामद्वारा किये हुए सब कार्य संक्षेपसे कह सुनाये
śaśaṃsa rāvaṇas tasmai tat sarva rāmacēṣṭitam | samāsenaiva kāryāṇi krodhāmarṣa-samanvitaḥ ||
マールカンデーヤは言った。怒りに満ち、傷ついた矜持に駆られたラーヴァナは、ラーマの成した一切の行いと企てを、簡潔ながら順を追ってマリーチャに語り聞かせた。

The verse underscores an ethical insight: when one is driven by krodha (anger) and amarṣa (wounded pride/resentment), even factual narration becomes colored by hostility. Self-control and humility are implied virtues, since they preserve clarity and fairness in speech.
In Markandeya’s narration, Ravana—agitated and resentful—summarizes for someone (tasmai) the full range of Rama’s deeds and initiatives, presenting them concisely and in order.
