ततस्त्रिशङ्कोर्वचनं श्रुत्वा क्रोधसमन्वितम्। ऋषिपुत्रशतं राम राजानमिदमब्रवीत्॥ प्रत्याख्यातोऽसि दुर्मेधो गुरुणा सत्यवादिना। तं कथं समतिक्रम्य शाखान्तरमुपेयिवान्॥
tatastriśaṅkorvacanaṃ śrutvā krodhasamanvitam| ṛṣiputraśataṃ rāma rājānamidamabravīt|| pratyākhyāto'si durmedho guruṇā satyavādinā| taṃ kathaṃ samatikramya śākhāntaramupeyivān||
English Meaning
Hearing Trišanku's speech, the hundred sons of the saint, O Rāma, excited by wrath, said these words to the king, ‘Disregarded hast you been, O you of perverse understanding, by our truth-telling sire, why then, having passed him by, do you seek for others' help?
