Verse 39·VR 3.52.39

न अस्ति धर्मः कुतः सत्यम् न आर्जवम् न अनृशंसता | यत्र रामस्य वैदेहीम् भार्याम् हरति रावणः || ३-५२-३९ इति भूतानि सर्वाणि गणशः पर्यदेवयन् |

Translation

"When Ravana is abducting none other than the wife of Rama, then there is no probity. At such a juncture, how conscience can prevail? Unfounded are candour and compassion," thus the throngs of all beings overly regretted. [3-52-39, 40a]
