On the gold battlements they looked like dark clouds hanging on the heights of Mount
Meru. Martial drums and tabors sounded; the soul of the warriors was stirred by their crash.
Numberless kettledrums and clarionets were also playing; their music cracked the heart of
cowards. Advancing further, the demons saw the hosts of monkey and bear champions,
exceptionally huge in size, who in their onrush would make no account of rugged valleys
and catching hold of mountains would cleave them asunder and make passage through
them. Gnashing their teeth and biting their lips, myriads of warriors on both sides roared
and bullied, calling here on Råma and there on Råvaƒa. With shouts of victory on both
sides the fight actually commenced. The demons cast down volleys of mountain-peaks,
which the monkeys would seize with a bound and hurl them back. (1ó4)

The fierce monkeys and bears would lay hold of masses of rock and hurl them
against the fort. Darting against their adversary they would seize him by the leg and dash
him to the ground; and in the event of his taking to flight they would challenge him to a
duel again. The most agile and redoubtable monkeys and bears lightly sprang and
climbed up the fort and penetrating the palaces sang ›r∂ Råmaís praises wherever they
pleased.

Catching hold of a demon each the monkeys rushed back and jumped down to the
ground with the demons beneath themselves on the top. (41)
