Tulsidas, Ramayana, Ayodhyâ-kând, Dohâ 181

After resting at the Sai they started at dawn and drew near to the city of Sringavera. When the Nishad heard the news he thought sadly to himself: “For what reason is Bharat going to the forest? He has some evil design at heart. If he had no wrong intention, why should he bring an army with him? He thinks to kill Rama and his brother, and then to reign in ease and security. Bharat has not taken to heart the maxims of sound polity; there was disgrace already, and now there will be loss of life. If all the gods and demons were to combine to fight, they would never conquer Rama in battle. What wonder that Bharat should act thus; fruits of ambrosia do not grow from a poison stock.”
