निराबाधो हरिष्यामि राहुश्चन्द्रप्रभामिव ॥ ३.३६.२० ॥
When those two are gone, I will carry off Sītā from the empty hermitage at my ease, unhindered, as Rāhu seizes the radiance of the moon.
3.36.21
ततः पश्चात् सुखं रामे भार्याहरणकर्शिते।
विश्रब्धं प्रहरिष्यामि कृतार्थेनान्तरात्मना ॥ ३.३६.२१ ॥

हितं च तस्मै हितमात्मनश्च ॥ ३.३६.२४ ॥
He who knew Rāma's prowess in the great forest, his mind frightened and despondent, with folded hands spoke true and beneficial words to Rāvaṇa, beneficial both to him and to himself.
