O foremost of the deities, I am immortal, I do not fear you; and even if I meet with death, I may have it from you and no one else, O Lord. My death from you is both glorious and praiseworthy.” Thereupon Ravana, gifted with dreadful prowess, behold within the body of that deity, all the three worlds with mobile and immobile creations. The Adityas, the Maruts, the Siddhas, the two Asvins, Rudras, the manes, Yama, Kubera, the oceans, mountains, rivers, all the divisions of the Veda and knowledge, fire, planets, stars, sky, Siddhas, Gandharvas, Caranas, the ascetics conversant with the knowledge of Vedas, Garuda and the serpents, the other deities, Yaksas, Daityas and Rākşasas, were all seen in their incorporeal forms, on the person of that great Purusa, lying down. Thereupon the virtuous-souled Rāma said to Agastya, the foremost of Munis, "Who is that male being stationed in the island? Who are those three koțis male beings? And who is this person who crush down the pride of the Daityas and Dänavas?"
अमरोहं सुरश्रेष्ठ तेन मां नाविशद्भयम्। अथापि च भवेन्मृत्युस्त्वद्धस्तान्नान्यतः प्रभो॥ यशस्यं श्लाघनीयं च त्वद्धस्तान्मरणं मम। अथास्य गात्रे संपश्यद्रावणो भीमविक्रमः॥ तस्य देवस्य सकलं त्रैलोक्यं सचराचरम्। आदित्या मरुतः साध्या वसवोऽऽथाश्विनावपि॥ रुद्राश्च पितरश्चैव यमो वैश्रवणस्तथा। समुद्रा गिरयो नद्यो वेदा विद्यास्त्रयोऽग्नयः॥ ग्रहास्तारागणा व्योम सिद्धा गन्धर्वचारणाः। महर्षयो वेदविदो गरुडोऽथ भुजंगमाः॥ ये चान्ये देवतासङ्घा संस्थिता दैत्यराक्षसाः। गात्रेषु शयनस्थस्य दृश्यन्ते सूक्ष्ममूर्तयः॥
