Valmiki Ramayana — Uttara Kanda

Verse 84.17

इमे हि सर्वे विष्णो त्वां निरीक्षन्ते दिवौकसः। वृत्रघातेन महता तेषां साह्यं कुरुष्व ह॥ त्वया हि नित्यशः साह्यं कृतमेषां महात्मनाम्। असह्यमिदमन्येषामगतीनां गतिर्भवान्॥

ime hi sarve viṣṇo tvāṃ nirīkṣante divaukasaḥ| vṛtraghātena mahatā teṣāṃ sāhyaṃ kuruṣva ha|| tvayā hi nityaśaḥ sāhyaṃ kṛtameṣāṃ mahātmanām| asahyamidamanyeṣāmagatīnāṃ gatirbhavān||

English Meaning

O Vişnu, all the deities are waiting for you; do you help them by slaying Vộtra. O you having a large mind, you are always the help of these high-souled deities. It is impossible for any one else to accomplish the present work. You are the refuge of the helpless.
