Verse 16·VR 3.45.16

न सस् तस्य स्वरो व्यक्तम् न कश्चित् अपि दैवतः || ३-४५-१६ गन्धर्व नगर प्रख्या माया तस्य च रक्षसः |

na sas tasya svaro vyaktam na kashcit api daivataH || 3-45-16gandharva nagara prakhyaa maayaa tasya ca rakShasaH |

Translation

"Evidently it is not the voice of Rama, nor that of any other god, but someone mimicked that voice for chicanery, and that must be the illusory voice of that demon Maareecha, similar in effect to the magical city of gandharva-s usually created by magicians in general. [3-45-15b, 16]
