And that grove of the inner apartment belonging to the damsels (Pramadāvanasyagen. occurs twice in this passage. the commentator, as usual, refines on the word, to one he assigns a literal sense; another he explains of the grove belonging to the protector of the females, i.e. the wood, which, by arousing their desire for Rāvana, assured their stay there!) of the Ten-necked one, with its numbers of Asoka trees and plants cast about disorderly, was, in very sooth, through the might of the monkey rendered a sight composed of plants, etc. tending to awaken the regret of the spectator. (There is a pun on the word soka-occuring twice. One of these originally aśoka, but entering into a vowel combination with the preceding word, is the name of a tree; and Soka means sorrow. The aśoka trees being shattered, inspired the onlooker with soka-sorrow)
