Description of the Pushpaka Vimana and Ravana’s Inner Palace
न तत्र काचित्प्रमदा प्रसह्य वीर्योपपन्नेन गुणेन लब्धा।न चान्यकामापि न चान्यपूर्वा विना वरार्हां जनकात्मजां ताम्।।5.9.70।।
na tatra kācit pramadā prasahya vīryopapannena guṇena labdhā |
na cānyakāmāpi na cānyapūrvā vinā varārhāṃ janakātmajāṃ tām ||5.9.70||
അവിടെ ഒരു സ്ത്രീയും ബലപ്രയോഗത്തോടെ നേടിയതല്ല; വീര്യവും ഗുണവും കൊണ്ടാണ് അവർ ലഭിച്ചത്. ജനകാത്മജയായ ആ വന്ദ്യ സീതയെ ഒഴിച്ചാൽ, ആരും മറ്റൊരാളോടു ചേർന്നിരുന്നില്ല; മുമ്പ് മറ്റൊരാളുടേതായിരുന്നുമില്ല.
Hanuman once again assuming his true form said to himself, 'Sita is surely a virtuous lady superior to and more distinguished than them all. Alas, this lord of Lanka committed an ignoble, act (by abducting her).ityārṣē śrīmadrāmāyaṇē vālmīkīya ādikāvyē sundarakāṇḍē navamassargaḥ.Thus ends the ninth sarga of Sundarakanda of the holy Ramayana, the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
