सावित्री-यमसंवादः
Sāvitrī’s Dialogue with Yama and the Restoration of Satyavān
तैलाभिषिक्तो विकचो मज्जन् पड़के दशानन: । असकृत् खययुक्ते तु रथे नृत्यन्निव स्थित:,'सपनेमें मैंने देखा है कि रावण तेलसे नहाये, मूँड़ मुँड़ाये, कीचड़में डूब रहा है। फिर कई बार देखनेमें आया कि वह गदहोंसे जुते हुए रथपर खड़ा होकर नृत्य-सा कर रहा है
tailābhiṣikto vikaco majjan paṅkake daśānanaḥ | asakṛt kharayukte tu rathe nṛtyann iva sthitaḥ ||
马尔坎德耶说道:“在梦中,我见十首者(罗波那)被油涂身,剃去头发,沉没于泥淖。又一回又一回,我看见他立在一辆以驴为轭的战车上,仿佛起舞一般。”

The verse conveys that adharma and arrogance lead to inevitable degradation: the wrongdoer is symbolically shown losing honor and control, indicating karmic and moral consequences that culminate in disgrace and destruction.
Mārkaṇḍeya reports a recurring dream-vision in which Rāvaṇa is oiled and shaven, sinking in mud, and then seen standing on a donkey-yoked chariot as if dancing—an inauspicious sign foretelling his impending downfall.
