In the Padma Purana,
Your hope for Janaki is not at all auspicious. Even if you were to be in the company of the king of Lanka, give up all hope for your life. ||36||
A wise man should always protect himself, even from his wives and wealth. ||40||
Even if the lord of the Garuda has sent you two vehicles, or if you have bound my sons and brothers by deceit, what is this inflated ego of yours? Because while I am alive, you will not achieve your goal. ||41-42||
If you strive in battle, you will neither get Sita nor will your life remain. Therefore, do not be corrupted on both sides, give up your stubbornness regarding Sita. ||43||
In all the scriptures, I have caused the death of great celestial kings like Indra. ||44||
Look at these piles of bones, like the peaks of Kailasa, of the kings who have been destroyed by the strength of my arms. ||45||
Thus, when the messenger spoke, the radiant sun, illuminating the sky with the brilliance of his face, spoke in anger, "Oh, wicked messenger! Oh, jackal! Skilled in fabricating words! Oh, foolish one! Why are you babbling like this without any fear?" ||46-47||
What is the talk about Sita? Who is this vile demon Ravana, like a beast, who is engaged in vile deeds, to slander Rama? ||48||
As soon as the sun said this, he drew his sword, but Lakshmana, the keeper of the eyes of righteousness, stopped him. ||46||
The sun's eyes, which were like red lotus petals, became corrupted by anger and took on the form of twilight - they became red like twilight. ||50||
Just as a great serpent, manifesting the brilliance of its venom, is pacified by a mantra, so too was the sun gradually pacified by the good advice of his ministers. ||51||
The ministers said, "Oh, king! Give up your anger, which has arisen in an inappropriate matter. Even if this messenger is killed, what is the purpose?"
