यूयं एव अस्य जानीत यो अयं यत् वा करिष्यति।
अहिरेव अहेः पादान् विजानाति न संशयः॥ ५-४२-९
वाल्मीकिरामायणम् सुन्दरकाण्डं
yūyaṁ eva asya jānīta yo ayaṁ yat vā kariṣyati |
ahireeva aheḥ pādān vijānāti na saṁśayaḥ || 5-42-9
vālmīkirāmāyaṇam sundarakāṇḍaṁ
We all quote the saying,
പാമ്പിന്റെ ചോട്
പാമ്പിനേ അറിയൂ
பாம்பின் கால் பாம்புக்கே
புரியும்
this is taken from Sundarakandam of Valmiki
Ramayanam.. Hanuman, after meeting Sita had
proceeded to destroy the Ashokavanam.. Then the
Rakshasis who had seen the monkey with Sita a few
moment earlier, interrogate her about who
monkey was. For this Sita replies. " How do I know?
This is your and Ravana's country. And the demons are
famous for their disguises. So you alone should know
who this is and what he is doing. There is no doubt
that only a serpent can know and follow the path of
another serpent."
