As Räma was thus seated with his mind engrossed in that talk, a Rākṣasi came to that region at her will. And that one named Surpanakhā, sister to the ten-necked Raksasa, coming upon Răma, saw him like a celestial, having a leonine chest, mighty arms, and expansive eyes resembling lotus leaves, with the powerful gait of the elephant, wearing a head of matted locks, with a resplendent countenance, bearing regal marks.
तदासीनस्य रामस्य कथासंसक्तचेतसः। तं देशं राक्षसी काचिदाजगाम यदृच्छया॥ सा तु शूर्पणखा नाम दशग्रीवस्य रक्षसः। भगिनी राममासाद्य ददर्श त्रिदशोपमम्॥ दीप्तास्यं च महाबाहुं पद्भपत्रायतेक्षणम्। गजविक्रान्तगमनं जटामण्डलधारिणम्।७।।
