कथंचिनिर्जितां सीतामस्माभिर्नाभिरोचयेत्॥ राघवो नृपशार्दूलः कुलं व्यपदिशन् स्वकम्। प्रतिज्ञाय स्वयं राजा सीताविजयमग्रतः॥ सर्वेषां कपिमुख्यानां कथं मिथ्या करिष्यति।

English Meaning
And it shall not please him even if we rescue her. And mentioning his own lineage, that best of the kings, Rāghava, promised before all the leading monkeys, that he would himself rescue Sītā. How would he now falsify his own saying?
