So trat Sugrīva, der Sohn der Sonne —schnell wie der Wind—, nachdem er jene Tat vollbracht hatte, hoch erfreut in das Heer der Vānara ein, steigerte die Kampfesfreude Rāmas, des fürstlichen Sprosses aus dem Geschlecht der Raghu, und wurde von den vornehmsten Führern der baumbewohnenden Scharen geehrt.
From there Rama saw on the peak of the tower the Rakshasa king, who is difficult to approach. He was fanned by white whisks on both sides, graced with triumphal parasol, decorated his body with red sandal paste, adorned in redcoloured ornaments, resembling dark clouds, attired in red like the hare's blood, embroidered with golden thread, with scars on his chest caused by indentations made by the tusks of Airavata the elephant of Indra, looked like a mass of cloud covered by sunshine at dusk.
