Kālidāsa's Raghuvaṃśa 12th Sarga - 89

1

 जय श्रीराम!


जेतारं लोकपालानां स्वमुखैरर्चितेश्वरम्। 
रामस्तुलितकैलासमरातिं बह्वमन्यत ॥१२.८९॥   

Notes: Kālidāsa says, "Śrīrāma held Rāvaṇa, who had defeated the gods, worshipped Śiva by cutting off his own heads for offering, had lifted even the Kailāsa mountain at one time, in high esteem."

Statutory Warning: Śrīrāma held Rāvaṇa also in utter contempt for his cowardice, offences against righteous people, tormenting the sages and ascetics all over the world, and finally, for shamefully abducting Śītā. Śrīrāma had a great deal of information from both Hanūmān and Vibhīṣaṇa on Rāvaṇa.
