Mendengar titah itu, para raksasa bergerak mengelilingi Laṅkā: dari rumah ke rumah, ke tempat bersuka-ria, ke kamar peraduan dan taman-taman; tanpa gentar mereka mengejutkan serta menggerakkan kaum mereka sendiri.
Those Rakshasas having heard the words spoken by Ravana went to places of recreation, bedrooms and gardens and went round without fear into every house directing the Rakshasas.
