Valmiki Ramayana · Ayodhya Kanda · Sarga 9
गतोदके सेतुबन्धो न कल्याणि विधीयते। उत्तिष्ठ कुरु कल्याणि राजानमनुदर्शय
gatodake setubandho na kalyāṇi vidhīyate| uttiṣṭha kuru kalyāṇi rājānamanudarśaya
O fortunate one construction of a dike is not undertaken after the water has flowed down. Act before the king to the best of your interest.
— M.N. Dutt (1891)
