रक्षसां पुरुषव्याघ्र तेन ते ऽभ्यधिका युधि ॥ ७.१५.९ ॥
Where is the straightforward fighting of the yakṣas, and where the battle that relies on the power of illusion of the rākṣasas! O tiger among men, therefore they proved superior in battle.

तस्माद्धर्मं सुखार्थाय कुर्यात्पापं विसर्जयेत् ॥ ७.१५.२३ ॥
From dharma come kingdom, wealth, and happiness; from adharma comes only sorrow. Therefore one should practice dharma for the sake of happiness and abandon sin.
7.15.24
पापस्य हि फलं दुःखं तद्भोक्तव्यमिहात्मना ।
तस्मादात्मापघातार्थं मूढः पापं करिष्यति ॥ ७.१५.२४ ॥
The fruit of sin is sorrow, and it must be enjoyed here by oneself; therefore the deluded one will commit sin for his own self-destruction.
7.15.25
कस्य चिन्न हि दुर्बुद्धेश्छन्दतो जायते मतिः ।
देवं चेष्टयते सर्वं हतो दैवेन हन्यते ।
यादृशं कुरुते कर्म तादृशं फलमश्नुते ॥ ७.१५.२५ ॥

गदयाभिहतो मूर्ध्नि न च स्थानात्प्रकम्पितः ॥ ७.१५.२९ ॥
Then the great-souled lord of the yakṣas struck Daśagrīva on the head with his mace, yet he was not shaken from his place.

प्रतिगृह्य ततो राम महदस्त्रं दशाननः ॥ ७.१५.३४ ॥
He made many forms, yet he himself was not seen. Then, O Rāma, the ten-faced one took up a great weapon.
7.15.35
