Verse 11·VR 3.34.11

ऋषीणाम् अभयम् दत्तम् कृत क्षेमाः च दण्डकाः || ३-३४-११ एका कथंचित् मुक्ता अहम् परिभूय महात्मना | स्त्री वधम् शंकमानेन रामेण विदितात्मना || ३-३४-१२

Translation

"Accorded is the protection to the sages, and Dandaka is made as a snuggest place for them. I am the lone one somehow let off by such a high-minded Rama, of course, on humiliating me by cutting my nose and ears. Maybe, it is because he is hesitant of woman-slaughter for he is a well-versed soul. [1-34-11, 12]
