Once again, I refer to the Sundara Kanda, the 36th Sarga, 41st Sloka,
which starts with, " Na Maamsam Raghava...". The translation of the first
three words is--
Na - "NO"
Maamsam - "MEAT"
Raghava - Reference to Rama.
I'm sorry, but I cannot be more explicit as I do not have the Raamaayana
with me right now.
