Así, Sugrīva, hijo del Sol —veloz como el viento—, tras cumplir aquella hazaña, entró jubiloso en la hueste vānara, acrecentando el gozo guerrero de Rāma, el regio vástago de la estirpe de Raghu, mientras era honrado por los principales caudillos de las tropas que moran en los árboles.
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.
