Vast as great mountains, roaring like mighty thunder-clouds, with round tawny-red eyes, dreadful in their movement and their cries—they all stood gazing at Laṅkā, as though ready to crush it.
"O sinless king! there are sixty thousand golden mountains. In the midst of them is this golden mountain just as you are in the midst of the Rakshasas. On the last mountain the Vanaras with brown coloured face, white face, coppery red face and yellow face like honey with sharp teeth like lions, who have nails as weapons, four toothed ones like lions, fearsome ones like tiger, dangerous to approach, all of them like serpents with flaming venomous tongues, with long uplifted tails, like huge elephants in rut in mountain size, roaring like lions, thundering clouds, with round brownish red eyed ones, fearful while walking and causing appalling uproar all of them dwell on the last mountain. They are watching to demolish your Lanka as they look at it."
Consequences follow adharma: the looming destruction of Laṅkā is presented as the natural result of unrighteous action meeting a righteous, united force.
The vānaras stand in formation, staring at Laṅkā before the attack, their appearance and sound described as overwhelming.
Resolve (dṛḍhasaṅkalpa): steadfast readiness to act for the cause of Rāma.
