साम्नापि राक्षसेन्द्रेण प्रत्याख्यातो गरीयसा । किञ्चिन्नाह तदा रक्षो ज्ञात्वा तस्य चकीर्षितम् ॥ 7-11-11 ॥
Though rebuffed even with conciliatory words by the venerable lord of the rakshasas, the rakshasa said nothing then, for he understood what the other intended to do.

Then, after some time had passed, while Ravana, the ten-necked one, was dwelling there and had spoken such words, the night-roaming rakshasa addressed him.

दशग्रीव महाबाहो नार्हस्त्वं वक्तुमीदृशम् । सौभ्रात्रं नास्ति शूराणां शृणु चेदं वचो मम ॥ 7-11-14 ॥
"O ten-necked one, O mighty-armed, you ought not to speak in this way. Among heroes there is no such brotherly fellow-feeling; now listen to this counsel of mine."
