Seeing that best of monkeys, Lankā, ruled by Rāvana arising of herself with her countenance rendered deformed, stood before the heroic son of the Wind and, emitting a tremendous roar, addressed the offspring of the Wind-god, saying,
सा तं हरिवरं दृष्ट्वा लङ्का रावणपालिता। स्वयमेवोत्थिता तत्र विकृताननदर्शना ॥ पुरस्तात् तस्य वीरस्य वायुसूनोरतिष्ठत। मुञ्चमाना महानादमब्रवीत् पवनात्मजम्॥
