Valmiki Ramayana — Ayodhya Kanda

Verse 13.1

अतदर्ह महाराजं शयानमतथोचितम्। ययातिमिव पुण्यान्ते देवलोकात् परिच्युतम्॥ अनर्थरूपासिद्धार्था ह्यभीता भयदर्शिनी। पुनराकारयामास तमेव वरमङ्गना॥

atadarha mahārājaṃ śayānamatathocitam| yayātimiva puṇyānte devalokāt paricyutam|| anartharūpāsiddhārthā hyabhītā bhayadarśinī| punarākārayāmāsa tameva varamaṅganā||

English Meaning

Then as the mighty king was lying down in this unbeseeming and improper guise, like Yayāti dropped from the celestial, that lady, personating the ruin of the race, not fearing public odium, who had discerned danger from Rāma to Bharata, not having attained her wish, again addressed the monarch, concerning the boon he had promised to her.
