Powerful Hanuman beheld the conglomeration of buildings with golden lattices encrusted with vaidurya, with flocks of birds comparable to a complex of clouds pierced by lightning during rainy season. [5-7-1]
Attached to the spacious halls of the houses, were storehouses for valuable conches, weapons, bows and arrows. On the top of the attics on these mansions, were large and delightful terraces open to the Moon. [5-7-2]
The mansions of the lord of Lanka built with great care and effort on earth were by all means excellent and appeared as though built personally by Maya (the divine architect well known for magical skills). [5-7-4]
Hanuman beheld the magnificent and soulcaptivating palace possessing the splendour of molten gold. Of matchless beauty, it looked like a towering cloud worthy of the might of Ravana, the lord of ogresses. [5-7-5]
