Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 26
रामरामेति मां रक्ष रक्ष मां रक्षसा हृताम् । यथा श्येनः क्षुधायु्क्तः क्रन्दंतीं वर्तिकां नयेत्
rāmarāmeti māṃ rakṣa rakṣa māṃ rakṣasā hṛtām | yathā śyenaḥ kṣudhāyu्ktaḥ krandaṃtīṃ vartikāṃ nayet
“രാമാ, രാമാ—എന്നെ രക്ഷിക്കേണമേ; രാക്ഷസൻ അപഹരിച്ച എന്നെ രക്ഷിക്കേണമേ”—വിശപ്പുള്ള പരുന്ത് കരയുന്ന കാടയെ പിടിച്ച് കൊണ്ടുപോകുന്നതുപോലെ.
Sūta (narrating Sītā’s cry; deduced)
Scene: Sītā, borne away by the rākṣasa, cries ‘Rāma, Rāma—protect me!’; the simile shows a hungry hawk carrying off a crying quail—an image of swift, ruthless predation against fragile innocence.
