Lanka Kaanda
168 - Mandodari makes remonstrance with Ravana again and dwells upon Sri Rama's glory
Dohas
ēhi bidhi karata binōda bahu prāta pragaṭa dasakaṃdha.
sahaja asaṃka laṃkapati sabhāom gayau mada aṃdha..16ka..
[6-16(A)]
phūlaha pharai na bēta jadapi sudhā baraṣahiṃ jalada.
mūrukha hṛdayaom na cēta jauṃ gura milahiṃ biraṃci sama..16kha..
[6-16(A)-16(B)]
Description
While Ravana was laughing and joking in diverse ways as mentioned above, the day broke and the king of Lanka, who was intrepid by nature and further blinded by pride, entered the court. The reed neither blossoms nor bears fruit even though the clouds rain nectar on it. Similarly the light of wisdom would never dawn on a fool even though he may have a teacher like Viranci (Brahma).
