Verse 48·VR 3.47.48

तस्मिन् सहस्राक्ष सम प्रभावे रामे स्थिते कार्मुक बाण पाणौ | हृता अपि ते अहम् न जराम् गमिष्ये वज्रम् यथा मक्षिकया अवगीर्णम् || ३-४७-४८

Translation

"Even if you steal me away now, later when Indra similar Rama posits himself with his bow and arrows in hand on the battlefield, you cannot live on, and in the meanwhile you cannot digest me, as with a diamond swallowed along with a fly." Thus Seetha gave her vent to her disdainful feelings towards Ravana. [3-47-48]
