Sāvitrī–Satyavān Vivāha: Kanyāpradāna and Āśrama-Śīla (सावित्री-सत्यवान्विवाहः)
मारीचस्त्वब्रवीच्छुत्वा समासेनैव रावणम् । अलं ते राममासाद्य वीर्यज्ञो हास्मि तस्य वै,मारीचने सारी बातें सुनकर थोड़ेमें ही रावणको समझाते हुए कहा--“दशानन! तुम श्रीरामसे भिड़नेका साहस न करो। मैं उनके पराक्रमको जानता हूँ
mārīcastvabravīc chrutvā samāsenaiva rāvaṇam | alaṃ te rāmam āsādya vīryajño hāsmi tasya vai ||
Mārīca, ao ouvir as palavras de Rāvaṇa, respondeu aconselhando-o em poucas palavras: «Basta—não provoques Rāma nem busques um confronto com ele. Eu conheço de fato o seu poder».
