रावणग्रहणं तत्तु वायुग्रहणसन्निभम् । ततः पुलस्त्यः शुश्राव कथितं दिवि दैवतैः ॥ 7-33-1 ॥

That capture of Ravana was like the seizing of the wind itself; thereupon Pulastya heard it told in heaven by the gods.

Then, trembling with the affection a father feels for his son, the great sage of mighty steadfastness came to see the lord of Mahishmati.

That Brahmin, swift as the wind, taking the path of the wind, his stride as fast as thought, reached the city of Mahishmati.

Brahma's descendant entered that city, which resembled Amaravati and was thronged with joyful, well-nourished people, as one would enter Indra's Amaravati.

पादचारमिवादित्यं निष्पतन्तं सुदुर्दशम् । ततस्ते प्रत्यभिज्ञाय अर्जुनाय निवेदयन् ॥ 7-33-5 ॥

Most hard to gaze upon, like the sun descending and walking on foot, the people, recognizing him, then made him known to Arjuna.
