And loud was the tumult that was raised by the monkeys. And mighty was the din that was heard of those, uprooting trees and taking up ponderous crags, of the Räkşasas roaring and the monkeys storming in both the exhilarated armies of Raksasa and wood-rangers, of vehement and able (warriors) eager for slaying each other, and challenging each other to fight.
अथ घोषः सुतुमुलो हरीणां समजायत। वृक्षानारुजतां चैव गुर्वी गृह्णतां शिलाः॥ नदतां राक्षसानां च वानराणां च गर्जताम्। उभे प्रमुदिते सैन्ये रक्षोगणवनौकसाम्।॥ वेगितानां समर्थानामन्योन्यवधकाक्षिणाम्। परस्परं चाह्वयतां निनादः श्रूयते महान्॥
