In the Padma Purana,
It is said that when Janaki was in the presence of Padmanabha, her own nature's connection was most praiseworthy. ||13||
Hearing these words of Indrajit, who knew his father's heart, spoke words that were most arrogant and against the scriptures. ||14|| He said, "O virtuous one, who asked you? What authority do you have to speak such words, like those of a madman?" ||15|| "If you are truly impatient, cowardly, or impotent, then stay comfortably in your own home. What is the purpose of your words?" ||16|| "For whom, in the midst of a terrifying battle, filled with the darkness of a herd of maddened elephants, and a multitude of falling weapons, was Lakshmi, the beautiful heroine, earned by your arm, after great hardship?" ||17-18|| "Having obtained this most rare and excellent jewel of a woman, why are you abandoning her like a fool? Therefore, your words are useless." ||19|| Then, eager to rebuke, Vibhishana said, "You are the son of Ravana, the enemy of this one, who has a polluted mind." ||20|| "You, blinded by your own self-interest, are drowning in cold water at the behest of another." ||21|| "You are filling the fire that has erupted in your house with dry fuel. Alas! Your actions are contrary to your own good, because you are afflicted by the demon of delusion." ||22|| "Until this golden Lanka, with its ramparts and magnificent buildings, is pulverized by Lakshmana's sharp arrows, it is right to quickly hand over the virtuous princess, Sita, to Rama, who has a steadfast mind, for the welfare of all beings." ||23-24|| "Your father, with his evil mind, did not bring Sita here, but brought a poison-herb to this city of Lanka, a den for serpent-like demons." ||25|| "You are not capable of surrounding Lakshmana, who is like a lion in the forefront of battle, and who is the best among those who possess Lakshmi, and who is filled with anger, even though you are like elephants." ||26||
