Ramayana 2.34.5

तं वर्धयित्वा राजानं पूर्वं सूतो जयाशिषा।भयविक्लबया वाचा मन्दया श्लक्ष्णमब्रवीत्।।।।

taṁ vardhayitvā rājānaṁ pūrvaṁ sūto jayāśiṣā | bhayaviklabayā vācā mandayā ślakṣṇam abravīt ||

First, the charioteer greeted the king with a blessing of victory; then, trembling with fear, he spoke softly in a faint and gentle voice.
