Valmiki Ramayana, Yuddha Kanda, Sarga 111 · Maharshi Valmiki (the words spoken by Mandodari) · Ancient (Itihasa / Ramayana period)
After Rama slew Ravana on the field of Lanka, the demon king's chief queen Mandodari — daughter of the Asura Maya and renowned for her virtue and wisdom — came to the battlefield and broke into a long lament over her husband's body. Amid her sorrow, her insight pierced through: she recognised that one who had conquered Indra and the three worlds could not be slain by a mere mortal. In these verses she declares that Rama is the eternal Paramatma, Vishnu himself, bearing the conch, discus and mace, who had taken human form surrounded by the gods in the guise of monkeys, in order to relieve the burden of the worlds. She further reproaches Ravana that the very senses he had once mastered to win the three worlds had, in the end, brought about his ruin.
✦ શાસ્ત્રોમાં કહ્યા પ્રમાણે
Tradition holds that Mandodari, though born among the Rakshasas, attained spiritual merit by this very recognition of Rama's divinity at the hour of her deepest grief — turning a lament of loss into a hymn of truth. Devotees say that to behold the Lord even in moments of darkness and defeat, as Mandodari did, is itself the beginning of liberation.

Recite these verses calmly after meditating on the form of Sri Rama bearing the conch, discus and mace as Vishnu.
