किं वैष्णवं वा कपिरूपमेत्य रक्षोविनाशाय परं सुतेजः | अनन्तमव्यक्तमचिन्त्यमेकं स्वमायया साम्प्रतमागतं वा || ५-५४-३७
'Can he be the vast boundless energy, the unthinkable and infinite lord Visnu assuming the monkeyform? Is he the peerless, unmanifest form beyond all imagination who has arrived here by virtue of his Maya (illusory power) in order to destroy the demons?' [5-54-37]
All eminent demons having collected together, quickly surveyed the situation.Seeing the burnt city, with all its living creatures, houses and trees consigned to the flames, they spoke to one another. [5-54-38]
हा तात हा पुत्रक कान्त मित्र हा जीवितं भोगयुतं सुपुण्यम् | रक्षोभिरेवं बहुधा ब्रुवद्भि श्शब्दः कृतो घोरतरस्सुभीमः || ५-५४-४०
'O My Father, O My beloved Son, O My dear One, O My Friend! alas, the life which is enjoyable, sacred and prosperous is destroyed in this way'. Saying this, the demons cried out dreadfully and loudly. [5-54-40]
