The charming city was enclosed by a fortification wall of gold inlaid with precious
stones of various kinds, and contained many beautiful houses, cross roads, bazars,
lovely streets and lanes, and was decorated in everyway. Who could count the
multitudes of elephants, horses and mules, the crowds of foot soldiers and chariots and
the troops of demons of every shapeóa formidable host beyond all description ? Groves
and orchards, gardens and parks, lakes and also wells, big and small, looked charming;
daughters of human beings, Någas, gods and Gandharvas (celestial musicians) enraptured
with their beauty the minds of even hermits. Here roared mighty wrestlers endowed with
huge mountainlike forms. They grappled with one another in many ways in different
courts and challenged one another to a duel. Myriads of champions possessing frightful
forms sedulously guarded the city on all sides. Elsewhere the vile demons feasted on
buffaloes, human beings, cows, donkeys and goats. Tulas∂dåsa has briefly told their
story only because they will drop their bodies at the sanctuary of ›r∂ Råmaís arrows and
thereby attain the supreme state. (1ó3)

Seeing a host of guards defending the city, the chief of the monkeys thought to
himself, ìLet me assume a very minute form and enter the city at night.î (3)
