Verse 49·VR 4.17.49

सुग्रीव प्रिय कामेन यद् अहम् निहतः त्वया | माम् एव यदि पूर्वम् त्वम् एतद् अर्थम् अचोदयः | मैथिलिम् अहम् एक आह्ना तव च आनीतवान् भवेः || १-१७-४९ राक्षसम् च दुरात्मानाम् तव भार्य अपहारिणम् | कण्ठे बद्ध्वा प्रदद्याम् ते अनिहतम् रावणम् रणे || ३-१७-५०

Translation

"For which purpose I am killed, intending to do good to Sugreeva is incidental to it, you should have assigned me for that purpose in the first instance itself, and I would have brought that evil-minded demon Ravana, the abductor of your wife in one day, that too without killing him in any fight, but by fastening him by neck, and I would have presented Maithili to you.
