अनुतिष्ठतिमेदिन्यांपनसःपनसोयथा ।।।।नाराचैर्बहुभिश्चिन्नश्शेतेदर्यांदरीमुखः ।कुमुदस्तुमहातेजानिष्कूजन्सायकै: कृतः ।।।।
anutiṣṭhati medinyāṃ panasaḥ panaso yathā | nārācair bahubhiś chinnaḥ śete daryāṃ darīmukhaḥ | kumudas tu mahātejā niṣkūjan sāyakaiḥ kṛtaḥ ||
Si Panasa ay nakahandusay sa lupa na gaya ng punong langka na nabuwal; si Darīmukha nama’y nakadapa, wasak sa maraming palasong bakal ang dulo; at si Kumuda, bagaman maningning sa lakas, ay napunit ng mga palaso at nakahimlay na walang tinig.
"The time has come for us to call for all the rakshasas and ministers immediately and assemble (said Ravana)."
