अपि त्वामीश्वरं प्राप्य कामवृत्तं निरङ्कुशम्। न विनश्येत्पुरी लङ्का त्वया सह सराक्षसा।
I hope the city of Lanka along with the (entire) race of demons will not be destroyed, with a dictator like you who is a slave to sensual pleasure.(Valmiki Ramayana 3.37.6)
त्वद्विधः कामवृत्तो हि दुश्शीलः पापमन्त्रितः। आत्मानं स्वजनं राष्ट्रं स राजा हन्ति दुर्मतिः
A king who is a slave to passion, who is of bad conduct, of wicked thoughts, advised in evil ways destroys himself, his kith and kin and the entire kingdom.(Valmiki Ramayan 3.37.7)
You are fickleminded. You have employed no spy ( who could have told you the truth about Rama's character). Rama is very brave and virtuous comparable to Indra and Varuna. Surely you are not able to know what Rama is(Valmiki Ramayana 3.37.3)
