Devanagari script
दशग्रीवश्व दैत्यानां देवानां च बलोत्कट: । आक्रम्य रत्नान्यहरत् कामरूपी विहड्भगम:,बलोन्मत्त रावण इच्छानुसार रूप धारण करने और आकाशमें भी चलनेमें समर्थ था। उसने दैत्यों और देवताओंपर आक्रमण करके उनके पास जो रत्न या रत्नभूत वस्तुएँ थीं, उन सबका अपहरण कर लिया
Translation
Rāvaṇa of the ten necks was a titan of strength, overpowering both gods and daityas. Able to assume whatever form he wished and to move even through the sky, he—maddened by might—assailed the gods and the daityas and carried off all their jewels and precious treasures.
