स्वप्ना हि सुमहाघोरा दृष्टा मेडनिष्टदर्शना: । विनाशायास्य दुर्बुद्धे: पौलस्त्यकुलघातिन:,(अविन्ध्यका संदेश सुनाकर फिर त्रिजटाने अपनी ओरसे कहा--) 'सखी! मैंने भी रातमें बड़े भयंकर स्वप्न देखे हैं, जो इस पुलस्त्यकुल-घातक दुर्बुद्धि रावणके विनाश एवं अनिष्टकी सूचना देनेवाले हैं
svapnā hi sumahāghorā dṛṣṭā me dāruṇadarśanāḥ | vināśāyāsya durbuddheḥ paulastyakulaghātinaḥ ||
“Indeed, I have seen exceedingly dreadful dreams—visions of dire omen—foretelling the destruction of that evil-minded one, the slayer of the line of Pulastya.”

Adharmic conduct and cruel intent culminate in self-destruction; ominous signs (such as terrifying dreams) are framed as indicators of an inevitable karmic downfall for the evil-minded.
Mārkaṇḍeya reports having seen terrifying, inauspicious dreams that portend the imminent ruin of an evil-minded figure identified by the epithet “destroyer of Pulastya’s line,” i.e., Rāvaṇa.
