Valmiki Ramayana — Bala Kanda

Verse 20.18

अथ कालोपमौ युद्धे सुतौ सुन्दोपसुन्दयोः॥ यज्ञविघ्नकरौ तौ ते नैव दास्यामि पुत्रकम्। मारीचश्च सुबाहुश्च वीर्यवन्तौ सुशिक्षितौ॥

atha kālopamau yuddhe sutau sundopasundayoḥ|| yajñavighnakarau tau te naiva dāsyāmi putrakam| mārīcaśca subāhuśca vīryavantau suśikṣitau||

English Meaning

The sons of Sunda and Upasunda resemble Kāla himself in battle, and it is they who are disturbing your sacrifice. Therefore I will not part with my son. And Mārīca and Subāhu are possessed of prowess, and accomplished in weapons.
