Valmiki Ramayana — Ayodhya Kanda

Verse 1.30

नावज्ञेयश्च भूतानां न च कालवशानुगः। एवं श्रेष्ठैर्गुणैर्युक्तः प्रजानां पार्थिवात्मजः॥ सम्मतस्त्रिषु लोकेषु वसुधायाः क्षमागुणैः। बुद्ध्या बृहस्पतेस्तुल्यो वीर्ये चापि शचीपतेः॥

nāvajñeyaśca bhūtānāṃ na ca kālavaśānugaḥ| evaṃ śreṣṭhairguṇairyuktaḥ prajānāṃ pārthivātmajaḥ|| sammatastriṣu lokeṣu vasudhāyāḥ kṣamāguṇaiḥ| buddhyā bṛhaspatestulyo vīrye cāpi śacīpateḥ||

English Meaning

He did not disregard any creature; he was no slave to the times. That son of the monarch was furnished with such qualities. And he was liked by the subjects as well as by the three worlds. In forgiveness he was like to the Earth; and in intelligence like to BỊhaspati; and in prowess like to the Sacī's lord.
