स सर्वैः सचिवैः सार्धम् विभीषण पुरस्कृतैः | मंत्रयित्वा तु धर्मिष्ठैः कृत्वा निश्चयम् आत्मनः | दोषाणाम् च गुणानाम् च संप्रधार्य बल अबलम् || ३-३७-२३ आत्मनः च बलम् ज्ञात्वा राघवस्य च तत्त्वतः | हितम् हि तव निश्चित्य क्षमम् त्वम् कर्तुम् अर्हसि || ३-३७-२४
Translation
"Such as you are, you should firstly deliberate with all of your ministers that have a righteous bearing, duly keeping your brother Vibheeshana at the helm of affairs, and then you take a decision on your own considering rights and wrongs of the case, and bearing in mind about your own strengths and weakness, and even on making sure of Raghava's capability in its reality, and then it will be apt of you to take up befitting action that will be conducive to your interests. [3-37-24,25]
