Sanskrit Original
कोट कँगूरन्हि सोहहिं कैसे। मेरु के सृंगनि जनु घन बैसे।। बाजहिं ढोल निसान जुझाऊ। सुनि धुनि होइ भटन्हि मन चाऊ।। बाजहिं भेरि नफीरि अपारा। सुनि कादर उर जाहिं दरारा।। देखिन्ह जाइ कपिन्ह के ठट्टा। अति बिसाल तनु भालु सुभट्टा।। धावहिं गनहिं न अवघट घाटा। पर्बत फोरि करहिं गहि बाटा।। कटकटाहिं कोटिन्ह भट गर्जहिं। दसन ओठ काटहिं अति तर्जहिं।। उत रावन इत राम दोहाई। जयति जयति जय परी लराई।। निसिचर सिखर समूह ढहावहिं। कूदि धरहिं कपि फेरि चलावहिं।।

On the gold battlements they looked like dark clouds hanging on the heights of Mount Meru. Martial drums and tabors sounded; the soul of the warriors was stirred by their crash. Numberless kettledrums and clarionets were also playing; their music cracked the heart of cowards. Advancing further, the demons saw the hosts of monkey and bear champions, exceptionally huge in size, who in their onrush would make no account of rugged valleys and catching hold of mountains would cleave them asunder and make passage through them. Gnashing their teeth and biting their lips, myriads of warriors on both sides roared and bullied, calling here on Rama and there on Ravana. With shouts of victory on both sides the fight actually commenced. The demons cast down volleys of mountain-peaks, which the monkeys would seize with a bound and hurl them back.
