Verse 6.127.8

कथमेतादृशी प्राप्तिरस्माकं मुनिनायक ।
मूर्खाः स्तब्धाश्च किंचिज्ज्ञा मादृशाः क्व च पापिनः ।
क्व च ब्रह्मादिभिः प्रार्थ्या दुर्लभा रामसंस्थितिः ॥ ८ ॥

kathametādṛśī prāptirasmākaṃ munināyaka |
mūrkhāḥ stabdhāśca kiṃcijjñā mādṛśāḥ kva ca pāpinaḥ |
kva ca brahmādibhiḥ prārthyā durlabhā rāmasaṃsthitiḥ || 8 ||

Bharadwaja said:—Oh! how much I wonder at such a high dignity, which Rama had attained; and how much I regret at the impossibility of its attainment, by a dull and ignorant sinner as myself.
