न हि वै त्वद्विधो लोके पापमेवं समाचरेत् | पापमार्येण यो हन्ति स वीरः पुरुषोत्तमः || ४-३१-६
- 'A man like you should not commit this sort of sin in this world and if such a situation occurs, he who by his noble gesture kills his own anger is a hero, best among men. [4-31-6]
नेदमत्र त्वया ग्राह्यं साधुवृत्तेन लक्ष्मण | तां प्रीतिमनुवर्तस्व पूर्ववृत्तं च सङ्गतम् || ४-३१-७
'O Lakshmana with your good conduct you should not do so. Keeping in view the affectionate friendship extended (by Sugriva) earlier, be friendly. [4-31-7]
