It is decorated with Vimanas, bannem and buntings. This castle shines like fire and greatly torments peoples; see there are other Danavas standing on terraces and gateways, wearing coronets and ear-rings, looking like mountains and banks of clouds. They look hideous and are holding arms in their hands and have angry faces.

In the meanwhile, I shall take my seat on this excellent chariot and remain here like Mount Meru and reconnoitre the entrance of the fortified town, and then try to gain you victory. I shall reduce the fortresses to ashes by means of.ona single
