Ramayana 2.64.67

अतस्तु किं दुःखतरं यदहं जीवितक्षये।न हि पश्यामि धर्मज्ञं रामं सत्यपराक्रमम्।।।।

atas tu kiṃ duḥkhataraṃ yad ahaṃ jīvitakṣaye | na hi paśyāmi dharmajñaṃ rāmaṃ satyaparākramam ||

What sorrow could be greater than this—that at the end of my life I do not behold Rama, the knower of dharma, whose strength is grounded in truth?
