In the Padma Purana, this was said by the messenger, known as Vakyalankara. He spoke to Dashaanan (Ravana) in the presence of Sumali, in this order. ||165|| "O Maharaj, remember what Vaishravana (Kubera), whose fame pervades the entire universe, has said to you." ||166|| "He said that you are a scholar, a noble, a man of the world, a great man, afraid of wrongdoing, and a guide on the right path." ||167|| "It is fitting for you to restrain your reckless grandson, who is like a playful child." ||168|| "This is the main difference between animals and humans: animals do not know the difference between right and wrong, while humans do." ||169|| "Even when they gain some fleeting power, those with firm minds do not forget their past." ||170|| "The entire family should find peace in the death of the head gardener. Who would do something that would lead to the complete destruction of their own family?" ||171|| "Why have you forgotten the power of Indra, who destroys his enemies and whose glory is spread throughout the ocean waves? Why are you trying to do something inappropriate?" ||172|| "You are like a frog playing in the mouth of a snake, which is full of sharp teeth and spews fire-like venom." ||173|| "If you are unable to control this thief-like child, then hand him over to me today. I will take control of him myself." ||174|| "If you do not do this, then you will see your grandson in prison, bound in chains and suffering various tortures." ||175|| "It seems you have been away from Alankarodaya (Patalaloka) for a long time. Now you want to enter that same den again." ||176|| "Be sure that if I or Indra become angry, you will have no refuge on earth. Just as a bubble of water disappears with a slight breeze, so will you." ||177||
Then, the water of Dashaanan's mind, which was like an ocean, was agitated by the strong wind of the messenger's harsh words. ||178||
The messenger entered after delivering the message. He was well-versed in social etiquette and behaved with appropriate humility. ||164|| The messenger's name was Vakyalankara. He began to speak to Dashaanan in the presence of Sumali, in this order. ||165|| "O Maharaj, remember what Vaishravana (Kubera), whose fame pervades the entire universe, has said to you." ||166|| "He said that you are a scholar, a noble, a man of the world, a great man, afraid of wrongdoing, and a guide on the right path." ||167|| "It is fitting for you to restrain your reckless grandson, who is like a playful child." ||168|| "This is the main difference between animals and humans: animals do not know the difference between right and wrong, while humans do." ||169|| "Even when they gain some fleeting power, those with firm minds do not forget their past." ||170|| "The entire family should find peace in the death of the head gardener. Who would do something that would lead to the complete destruction of their own family?" ||171|| "Why have you forgotten the power of Indra, who destroys his enemies and whose glory is spread throughout the ocean waves? Why are you trying to do something inappropriate?" ||172|| "You are like a frog playing in the mouth of a snake, which is full of sharp teeth and spews fire-like venom." ||173|| "If you are unable to control this thief-like child, then hand him over to me today.
