ततो गत्वा दशग्रीवः सपुत्रः सविभीषणः । स्त्रियो ऽवतारयामास सर्वास्ता बाष्पगद्गदाः ॥ 7-25-16 ॥

Then Dashagriva, going forth together with his son and with Vibhishana, brought down all those women, who were choked and stammering with tears.

They were beautiful and like jewels among the gods, danavas, and rakshasas. Knowing his mind set upon them, the righteous one (Vibhishana) spoke these words.

By such conduct as this, destructive of your fame, your wealth, and your lineage, knowing that it offends your kinsmen, you act according to your own willful judgment.

Having violated those kinsmen, these lovely women were carried off by you; yet, overstepping you, O king, Kumbhinasi was abducted by Madhu.

But Ravana spoke these words: I do not understand what this is. Who is this who has been named by you simply as Madhu?
