अंहो बतेदम् नृ वर अविषह्य निवर्तते मे हृदि साधु वृत्तम् | अग्नौ विवर्णम् परितप्य मानम् किट्टम् यथा राघव जात रूपम् || ४-२४-१८

Translation
"How difficult is this insufferable sacrilege of mine, oh, best king, owing to which my good breeding is shed from my heart, as with the gold, which if alloyed will be intolerant of that filth, but oh, Raghava, even the gold sheds itself from scum when melted, and though I melt in grief this scum of sacrilege is unshed.
