Valmiki Ramayana — Kishkindha Kanda

Verse 15.17

सुग्रीवप्रियकामार्थं प्राप्तौ तत्र दुरासदौ। स ते भ्रातुर्हि विख्यातः सहायो रणकर्मणि ॥ रामः परबलामर्दी युगान्ताग्निरिवोत्थितः। निवासवृक्षः साधूनामापनानां परा गतिः॥

sugrīvapriyakāmārthaṃ prāptau tatra durāsadau| sa te bhrāturhi vikhyātaḥ sahāyo raṇakarmaṇi || rāmaḥ parabalāmardī yugāntāgnirivotthitaḥ| nivāsavṛkṣaḥ sādhūnāmāpanānāṃ parā gatiḥ||

English Meaning

To accomplish Sugrīva's welfare, those two heroes, hard to repress, have come here. He is the main stay of your brother in the battle. Rāma has sprung up like to the fire of dissolution and is the repressor of enemy's prowess. He is the refuge of the saints and the prime shelter of the afflicted.
