Valmiki Ramayana — Yuddha Kanda

Verse 14.13

भित्त्वा न तावत्प्रविशन्ति कायं प्राणान्तिकास्तेऽशनितुल्यवेगाः। शिताः शरा राघवविप्रमुक्ताः प्रहस्त तेनैव विकत्थसे त्वम्॥ न रावणो नातिबलस्त्रिशीर्षो न कुम्भकर्णस्य सुतो निकुम्भः। न चेन्द्रजिद्दाशरथिं प्रसोढुं त्वं वा रणे शक्रसमं समर्थः॥

bhittvā na tāvatpraviśanti kāyaṃ prāṇāntikāste'śanitulyavegāḥ| śitāḥ śarā rāghavavipramuktāḥ prahasta tenaiva vikatthase tvam|| na rāvaṇo nātibalastriśīrṣo na kumbhakarṇasya suto nikumbhaḥ| na cendrajiddāśarathiṃ prasoḍhuṃ tvaṃ vā raṇe śakrasamaṃ samarthaḥ||

English Meaning

And, O Prahasta, as yet the sharpened shafts, capable of destroying life and having the impetuosity of the thunder-bolt, have not entered into your body, and therefore you did speak thus, neither Rāvana, nor the exceedingly powerful Trisirşa. Neither Kumbhakarna's son Nikumbha nor Indrajit, is capable of bearing in battle the son of Dasaratha, resembling Sakra himself.
