एवं कुरुष्व कौरव्य प्रभाते रथमास्थितः । प्रसुप्तं वा मृतं वापि तुल्यं मन्यामहे वयम्॥५-१८४-१६॥

Do so, O Kaurava, mounted on your chariot at dawn. For in our judgment, one who sleeps and one who is dead are alike, in that both are unable to act.

english translation

न च रामेण मर्तव्यं कदाचिदपि पार्थिव । ततः समुत्पन्नमिदं प्रस्वापं युज्यतामिति॥५-१८४-१७॥

And Rāma should not be made to die—at any time—O king. Therefore this Prasvāpa has arisen as the means; let it be employed.

english translation

इत्युक्त्वान्तर्हिता राजन्सर्व एव द्विजोत्तमाः । अष्टौ सदृशरूपास्ते सर्वे भास्वरमूर्तयः॥५-१८४-१८॥

Having spoken thus, O king, all those foremost brāhmaṇas disappeared. Those eight, of similar appearance, all had radiant forms.
