And beholding him the monkey reflected—“This must be Rāvana-for he is the person whom I saw sleeping in an excellent apartment in that city.” Thinking this, that highly effulgent son of Maruta-Hanuman leaped (high upon another branch).
वृतः परमनारीभिस्ताराभिरिव चन्द्रमाः। तं ददर्श महातेजास्तेजोवन्तं महाकपिः॥ रावणोऽयं महाबाहुरिति संचिन्त्य वानरः। सोऽयमेव पुरा शेते पुरमध्ये गृहोत्तमे। अवप्लुतो महातेजा हनूमान् मारुतात्मजः॥
