لما رأوا الفعل العظيم الذي اقترفه رافانا الشرير، استولى الكآبة على الآلهة والغاندهرفا والشارانا، ومعهم الدانافا. وحين رأوا راما مُعذَّبًا اضطرب السِّدها وأعظم الرِّشي؛ واعترا القلقُ قادةُ الفانارا مع فيبيشانا، كأن راما الشبيه بالقمر قد كُسِف برافانا على نحو راهُو.
On seeing Sri Rama afflicted by the action of evil-minded Ravana, the Devas, Gandharvas, Charanas, Danavas also, Siddhas and foremost rishis were despondent. Seeing the moon like Sri Rama eclipsed by planet Rahu in the form of Ravana, the Vanara leaders and Vibheeshana became worried.
