Valmiki,
The Ramayana of Valmiki — Canto XXIII: Lakshman's Anger
(1870s)
“ Who then shall vaunt his might? who dare Count him a man to meet me there? Then will I loose my shafts, and strike Man, elephant, and steed alike: At one shall many an arrow fly, And many a foe with one shall die. ”
Valmiki,
The Ramayana of Valmiki — Canto XXIII: Lakshman's Anger
(1870s)
“ And like a serpent in his hole, Breathed fierce and fast in wrath of soul. His threatening brows so darkly frowned, His eyes so fiercely glanced around, They made his glare, which none might brook, Like some infuriate lion's look. Like some wild elephant, full oft He raised and shook his hand [1] aloft. ”
Valmiki,
The Ramayana of Valmiki — Canto XXIII: Lakshman's Anger
(1870s)
“ Though threatening Fate his hopes assail. Unmoved through all need never quail. This day mankind shall learn aright The power of Fate and human might, So shall the gulf that lies between A man and Fate be clearly seen. ”
