Ramayana
ततो हि देवा ऋषिपन्नगाश्च प्रपूजिरे ह्यप्सरसश्च सर्वाः । दिष्ट्या जयो दाशरथेरवाप्तस्त्यक्त्वा भयं सर्प इव प्रशान्तः ॥ 7-69-40 ॥
Then indeed the gods, the sages, and the serpents, and all the apsarases too, paid him honor: 'By good fortune the son of Dasharatha has won the victory!' — and, casting off their fear, they grew calm like a snake at peace.
