बालानां वरनारीणां सहस्रेण समावृतम् । समदानां करेणूनां सहस्रेणेव कुञ्जरम् ॥ 7-32-16 ॥
He was surrounded by a thousand choice young women, like a bull elephant surrounded by a thousand cow-elephants in rut.

तमद्भुततमं दृष्ट्वा राक्षसौ शुकसारणौ । सन्निवृत्तावुपागम्य रावणं तमथोचतुः ॥ 7-32-17 ॥

बृहत्सालप्रतीकाशः को ऽप्यसौ राक्षसेश्वर । नर्मदां रोधवद्रुद्ध्वा क्रीडापयति योषितः ॥ 7-32-18 ॥
"O lord of the Rakshasas, who is this one, resembling a great sala tree, who has dammed the Narmada like a dyke and makes the women sport?

तेन बाहुसहस्रेण सन्निरुद्धजला नदी । सागरोद्गारसङ्काशानुद्गारान्सृजते मुहुः ॥ 7-32-19 ॥
Its waters held back by that thousand-armed one, the river again and again throws up surges resembling the upheavals of the ocean."

इत्येवं भाषमाणौ तौ निशाम्य शुकसारणौ । रावणो ऽर्जुन इत्युक्त्वा प्रययौ युद्धलालसः ॥ 7-32-20 ॥
Hearing those two, Shuka and Sarana, speaking thus, Ravana said, "It is Arjuna," and, eager for battle, set forth.
