The Puranas
This distinction of "this is a man and this is a woman" is made by the foolish. The wise, on the other hand, seek good words from all, both men and women. ||11||
If you have even a little bit of affection for me, then I say, give up your desire for another woman, or abandon the path of a man who is enamored with another woman. ||12||
If you permit me, I will take Janaki and bring her to Rama, and I will bring back your sons Indrajit and Meghavahana, and your brother Kumbhakarna. What is the purpose of killing so many people? ||63-64||
Thus spoken to, Ravana, the king of the Rakshasas, became very angry and said, "Go, go, messenger, go where I cannot see your face." ||65||
Oh, you think yourself very wise, abandoning your own progress and engaging in the lowly act of praising the enemy. ||66||
You are the mother of heroes and my queen, yet you speak such lowly words. It seems there is no other cowardly woman greater than you. ||67||
Thus spoken to, the queen said, "Listen to what the wise have said about the birth of the Balabhadra, Narayana, and Prati-Narayana." ||98||
Oh, Lord, in this age, there have already been seven Balabhadra, namely Vijay, Achal, Bhadra, Suprabha, Sudarshana, Ananda, and Nandana, and seven Narayana, namely Triprutha, Dwiprutha, Swayambhu, Purushottama, Narasimha, Pundarika, and Datta. All these were very valiant and famous men in the world. At this time, there are two Balabhadra, namely Padma and Lakshmana, and two Narayana. Oh, Dashaanan, it seems that both of them have arrived here. Just as Ashvagriva, Taraka, and other Prati-Narayana were destroyed by them, so it seems that you also wish to be destroyed by them. ||102||
The teacher did not enlighten him through instruction. ||60||
