ततो मनोरथं सत्यं पितुर्नारायणं प्रति । करोमीति तमेवाहं हृदयेन समुद्वहे ॥ 7-17-16 ॥
Thereafter, to make true my father's heart's wish concerning Narayana, I bear that very resolve within my heart, vowing, "I shall accomplish it."

इति प्रतिज्ञामारुह्य चरामि विपुलं तपः । एतत्ते सर्वमाख्यातं मया राक्षसपुङ्गव ॥ 7-17-17 ॥
Having taken up this vow, I practice vast austerities. All this has been declared by me to you, O bull among the Rakshasas.

नारायणो मम पतिर्न त्वन्यः पुरुषोत्तमात् । आश्रये नियमं घोरं नारायणपरीप्सया । विज्ञातस्त्वं हि मे राजन्गच्छ पौलस्त्यनन्दन ॥ 7-17-18 ॥
Narayana is my husband, and none other than that Supreme Person; I undertake this terrible discipline out of the longing to win Narayana. You are indeed known to me, O king; go your way, O delight of Pulastya's line.

जानामि तपसा सर्वं त्रैलोक्ये यद्धि वर्तते ॥ 7-17-19 ॥
By my austerities I know all that comes to pass in the three worlds.

सो ऽब्रवीद्रावणो भूयस्तां कन्यां सुमहाव्रताम् । अवरुह्य विमानाग्रात्कन्दर्पशरपीडितः ॥ 7-17-20 ॥
Then Ravana, tormented by the arrows of the god of love, descending from the top of his chariot, spoke once more to that maiden of mighty vows.
