After Närada had reached there, the illustrious Daśānana went to that insular continent beyond even the reach of the celestials. Being struck by the radiant heat of that insular continent, the Puspaka car, of the mighty Ravana, could not stand, there like clouds scattered by the wind. Having arrived at that dreadful insular continent the councillors of the lord of Raksasas, fearfully said to Ravana. "O lord, we are all stupified and beside ourselves with fear. We cannot anyhow stand here: how shall we fight?” Saying this the Rakşasas fled away into all directions. And Daśānana too sent away his golden car Puşpaka with them. And Daśānana too sent away his chariot and assuming a dreadful figure he alone entered Śvetadvīpa. At the time of his entering he was seen by the females there. One of them of his entering he was seen by the females there. One of them beholding him by the hand and smiling said "Why have you come hither? Who are you? who is your father? and what for have you come here? Do you definitely say." Hearing those words, oking, Ravana, in anger said:-"I am the son of the ascetic Visrava, I am Ravana by name; I have come hither being desirous of fighting; but I do not behold anyone here.” The vicious-souled Rāvana having said this all the young damsels laughed gently.
