In the kRti 'sarasa sAma dAna' -- rAga kApinArAyaNi, zrI tyAgarAja
extols the Lord about the way He dealt with rAvaNa.

sarasa sAma dAna bhEda daNDa catura
sATi daivam(e)varE brOvavE

parama zAmbhav(A)grEsaruND(a)gucu
palku rAvaNuDu teliya lEka pOye (sarasa)

hitavu mATal(e)ntO bAga palkitivi
satamugAn(a)yOdhyan(i)ttun(a)NTivi
nata sahOdaruni rAju cEsi rAka
hatamu jEsitivi tyAgarAja nuta (sarasa)
Gist
O Elegant Lord who is adept in the four-fold actions (of rAja dharma) --
conciliation, gift or bribe, creation of dissension and punishment! O Lord praised
by this tyAgarAja!
rAvaNa being the eminent devotee of the great Lord ziva, could not
understand Your words!
You nicely conveyed much beneficial words; You said that 'I shall offer
even ayOdhyA for ever'; as he (rAvaNa) did not listen even after making
vibhISaNa -- his brother who supplicated before You -- as King of laGkA, You
ultimately slayed him;
Which God is equal to You? deign to protect me.
