सुग्रीवो न च देवोऽयं न यक्षो न च राक्षसः। मानुषो राघवं राजन् सुग्रीवश्च हरीश्वरः। तस्मात् प्राणपरित्राणं कथं राजन् करिष्यसि॥
sugrīvo na ca devo'yaṃ na yakṣo na ca rākṣasaḥ| mānuṣo rāghavaṃ rājan sugrīvaśca harīśvaraḥ| tasmāt prāṇaparitrāṇaṃ kathaṃ rājan kariṣyasi||
English Meaning
But Sugrīva is not a god or a Yakṣa or a Rākşasa. Rāghava, O king, is a mortal and Sugrīva is the lord of monkeys. How can you, O king, save your-life from them.
