And the walls (of Lanka) covered all over with monkeys endued with complexions (yellow) as the ears of paddy, (grey) as shirisha flowers (crimson) as the morning sun and white as flax, assumed a tawny hue.

शालिप्रसूनसदृशैः शिरीषकुसुमप्रभैः। तरुणादित्यसदृशैः शणगौरैश्च वानरैः॥ प्राकारं ददृशुस्ते तु समन्तात् कपिलीकृतम्। राक्षसा विस्मिता राजन् सस्त्रीवृद्धाः समन्ततः॥
