Verse 4.25.2

दामव्यालकटन्यायो मा ते भवतु राघव ।
भीमभासदृढस्थित्या त्वं विशोको भवेति च ॥ २ ॥

dāmavyālakaṭanyāyo mā te bhavatu rāghava |
bhīmabhāsadṛḍhasthityā tvaṃ viśoko bhaveti ca || 2 ||

Do not let the instance of the demons Dama and Vyala or the snare and snake, apply to thy case; but try to extricate thyself from vain sorrowing (at the miseries of the world), by the lesson of fortitude as given in the story of Bhima and Bhasa.
