बानु बानु जिमि गयउ गवहिं दसकंधरु।
को अवनी तल इन सम बीर धुरंधरु॥
Say, who on this earth is as strong, powerful, courageous and valiant as these two warriors, Vanasur and Ravana. Since even they have not dared to touch the bow and preferred to escape from here unnoticed to save their face from disgrace, it would not be wise to allow Sri Ram, who is so tender and young in age, and who seems to bear no resemblance to the robust and muscular bodies of these two warriors Vanasur and Ravana, to go and try to lift the bow and face certain humiliation. I don’t want this to happen—especially when you are present here and have accompanied the two brothers. It would be very bad if Ram fails to lift the bow because you accompany him. I won’t like this embarrassing situation to happen. So, please don’t ask me to allow Ram to go to the bow and attempt to lift it!
