Kalyan Ji, if you still happen to be reading this, this is for you:

तद अद्भुतम राघव कर्म दुष्करम, समैक्य देवाः सह सिद्धाचारणैः
उपेत्य रामम सहिता महर्षिभिः, समभ्यसिंचन सुशुभैः जलैः पृथक
जयस्व शत्रुन नर देव मेदिनीम्, सागरम पालय शाश्वतैः समाः
(Valmiki Ramayan, Yuddha Kandam sarga 22 - 86 and 87)

Then, seeing the impossible mission of constructing a bridge on the ocean, which was both amazing and arduous, having been accomplished by Raghav - all Gods, Siddhas etc appeared and consecrated with devine waters. They exalted the great scion of Raghu, duly respected by kings, and announced: “O, Ram! Defeat these enemies. This earth and this ocean are eternally for you to rule, for ever.”

and in a different context:

न हि राज्यम अधर्मेण भोक्तुम क्षणम अपि त्वया
शक्यम मूर्ख सहायेन पापेन अविजितात्मना
(Valmiki Ramayan, Yuddha Kandam, sarga 41 - 70)

[Sri Ram asks Angad to convey to Ravana that,] You hope to rule a kingdom with Adharma, counting upon the help from these sinful idiots that surround you? Know this, that you are not going to enjoy this kingdom even for one other moment, you that know not your own self.
