On the midmost peak of that mountain resembling clouds, inaccessible even to the fowls of the air, all the four quarters have been hewn with bones.* If I am desired by you, I can construct the city of Lanka (there), having an area of thirty Yojanas, and measuring an hundred in length; surrounded with a golden wall and furnished with golden gateways. *Tanka-may also mean a hatchet or a sword.
शिखरे तस्य शैलस्य मध्यमेऽम्बुदसंनिभे॥ शकुनैरपि दुष्प्रापे टङ्कच्छिन्नचतुर्दिशि। त्रिंशद्योजनविस्तीर्णा शतयोजनमायता॥ स्वर्णप्राकारसंवीता हेमतोरणसंवृता। मया लङ्केति नगरी शक्याज्ञप्तेन निर्मिता ॥
