ततस्तं ददृशुर्वीरा दीप्यमानं महाकपिम्।।।।रश्मिमन्तमिवोद्यन्तं स्वतेजोरश्मिमालिनम्।तोरणस्थं महोत्साहं महासत्त्वं महाबलम्।।।।
tatas taṃ dadṛśur vīrā dīpyamānaṃ mahākapim | raśmimantam ivodyantaṃ svatejo-raśmimālinam | toraṇasthaṃ mahotsāhaṃ mahāsattvaṃ mahābalam ||
അപ്പോൾ ആ വീരരാക്ഷസർ ആ മഹാകപിയെ കണ്ടു—ജ്വലിക്കുന്നവൻ, സ്വന്തം തേജസ്സിന്റെ കിരണമാലയാൽ മൂടപ്പെട്ട ഉദയസൂര്യനെപ്പോലെ; തോരണത്തിൽ നിലകൊള്ളുന്ന, മഹോത്സാഹിയും മഹാസത്ത്വവും മഹാബലവും ഉള്ളവൻ।
The heroic giants caught sight of the vanara, who was blazing encircled as though hewas by the rays of his own glory, looking like the rising Sun. He was endowed with extraordinary agility, intelligence, and tremendous strength standing, waiting at the archway.
