And that graceful monkey saw Lankā situated on the top of the mountain, filled with splendid yellow-white palaces, like to a city stationed in the sky ruled by the lord of Rākşasas and reared by Viśvakarmā himself. And the monkey, Hanumān, beheld Lankā, as if moving in the sky: with her walls furnished with daises for her hips, the immense waters and woods for her cloth, Śataghnīs and darts for her hair ends: and pennons on her walls for earrings, built as if by the agency of the Mind; and constructed by Viśvakarmā himself.
पालितां राक्षसेन्द्रेण निर्मितां विश्वकर्मणा। प्लवमानामिवाकाशे ददर्श हनुमान् कपिः॥ वप्रप्राकारजघनां विपुलाम्बुवनाम्बराम्। शतघ्नीशूलकेशान्तामट्टालकावतंसकाम्॥ मनसेव कृतां लङ्कां निर्मितां विश्वकर्मणा।
