तदा निर्वासयामास वाली विगतसाध्वसः ॥ ४.१०.२६ ॥

अनागसा मया प्राप्तं व्यसनं पश्य राघव ॥ ४.१०.२९ ॥
I have told you all of this, the great account of enmity. Though innocent, I have suffered this calamity; behold it, O Rāghava.

वालिनश्च भयात् तस्य सर्वलोकभयापह।
कर्तुमर्हसि मे वीर प्रसादं तस्य निग्रहात् ॥ ४.१०.३० ॥
From Vālī and from fear of him, O remover of the fear of all worlds, O hero, you ought to show me grace by subduing him.

वचनं वक्तुमारेभे सुग्रीवं प्रहसन्निव ॥ ४.१०.३१ ॥

These my sharp arrows, unfailing and bright as the sun, filled with wrath, shall fall upon that evil-doing Vāli.
