RAMAYANA 6.101.52
Those who always adhere to truth do not make false promises. Keeping one’s promises is, surely, the mark of one’s greatness.
न हि प्रतिज्ञां कुर्वन्ति वितथां सत्यवादिनः
लक्षणं हि महत्त्वस्य प्रतिज्ञा परिपालनम्
Nahi pratijnaam kurvanti vithathhaam satyavaadinah
Lakshanam hi mahattwasya pratijnaaparipaalanam
[Context: Rama was plunged into deep sorrow and loses heart when Lakshamana was struck unconscious by a spear thrown at him by Ravana. Lakshmana was revived by the sanjeevani brought by Hanuman. Seeing Rama’s condition Lakshmana reminds him of Rama’s vow to kill Ravana who had abducted Sita. Lakshmana says that the vow made by Rama should never become false. ]
