Так, освобождённый теми дивно сияющими сиддхами, я узнал, что это Рāвана — царь ракшасов. Я видел, как он уносил дочь Джанаки — супругу Рāмы, сына Дашаратхи: украшения её были сорваны, шёлковое одеяние смято, она была сокрушена напором скорби, взывала к именам Рāмы и Лакшманы, с распущенными волосами.
'I was greeted by the most illustrious siddhas. I came to know from them that he was Ravana, the king of demons. I was looking at him while he was abducting Janaka's daughter, who was the wife of Dasaratha's Rama. Her ornaments had dropped and silken robes had slipped since she lost hold on herself. She was crying, loudly calling out the names of Rama and Lakshmana, her hair dishevelled.
