राक्षसो जिह्मया बुद्ध्या संदिष्टोऽयमिहागतः। प्रहर्तुं त्वयि विश्वस्ते विश्वस्ते मयि वाऽनघ॥ लक्ष्मणे वा महाबाहो स वध्यः सचिवैः सह। रावणस्य नृशंसस्य भ्राता ह्येष विभीषणः॥
rākṣaso jihmayā buddhyā saṃdiṣṭo'yamihāgataḥ| prahartuṃ tvayi viśvaste viśvaste mayi vā'nagha|| lakṣmaṇe vā mahābāho sa vadhyaḥ sacivaiḥ saha| rāvaṇasya nṛśaṃsasya bhrātā hyeṣa vibhīṣaṇaḥ||
English Meaning
Being impelled by his vicious sense that Rākṣasa has come here to slay us, o innocent one, when myself, you and Laksmana shall consider ourselves secure. Therefore the largearmed Vibhīşaņa the younger brother of the ruthless Rāvana, deserves to be slain along with his counsellors.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
