Valmiki Ramayana — Kishkindha Kanda

Verse 28.60

अयात्रां चैव दृष्ट्वेमां मार्गाश्च भृशदुर्गमान्। प्रणते चैव सुग्रीवे न मया किंचिदीरितम्॥

ayātrāṃ caiva dṛṣṭvemāṃ mārgāśca bhṛśadurgamān| praṇate caiva sugrīve na mayā kiṃcidīritam||

English Meaning

Owing to the unfitness of the season (for marching against my foe) and the wayfares being inaccessible, I cannot possibly request Sugrīva (to march) although he is prepared to abide by my mandate.
