Verse 24·VR 3.48.24

जीवेत् चिरम् वज्र धरस्य हस्तात् शचीम् प्रधृष्य अप्रतिरूप रूपाम् | न मा दृशीम् राक्षस धर्षयित्वा पीत अमृतस्य अपि तव अस्ति मोक्षः || ३-४८-२४

apahR^itya shaciim bhaaryaam shakyam indrasya jiivitum |na hi raamasya bhaaryaam maam apaniiya asti jiivitam || 3-48-23

Translation

"Oh, demon, un-mirrored is the prettiness of prettyish Shaci Devi, and one may live long on forcibly snatching her away from the hands of the wielder of Thunderbolt, Indra, but to him who intimidates or abuses me or women like me, there will be no moksha, release from the cycle of rebirth, even if he has consumed amR^ita ambrosia." Thus Seetha spoke to Ravana. [3-48-24]
