Sūta said:: Vāli of great vitality thus defeated Rāvaṇa who had made the worlds cry. As Rāvaṇa became delirious and unconscious, he released him from the grip of his arms and placed him at the root of a tree. Haughty, on account of excessive strength, he sprinkled cold water on Rāvaṇa from his head to his foot. When Rāvaṇa regained consciousness, Vāli pretended to be surprised. The lord of monkeys then spoke to the king of Rākṣasas who was very fierce in battle.
