Sanskrit: एवं श्रुत्वा महाबाहुस्तमृर्षि प्रत्युवाच सः। कीदृशं लक्षणं तस्य बूहि सर्वमशेषतः॥ राक्षसेशवचः श्रुत्वा स मुनिः प्रत्यभाषत। श्रूयतां सर्वमाख्यास्ये तव राक्षसपुंगव॥ स हि सर्वघतो देवः सूक्ष्मोऽव्यक्तः सनातनः। तेन सर्वमिदं व्याप्तं त्रैलोक्यं सचराचरम्॥ स भूमौ दिवि पाताले पर्वतेषु वनेषु च। स्थावरेषु च सर्वेषु नदीषु नगरीषु च॥ ओङ्कारचैव सत्यश्च सावित्री पृथिवी च सः। धराधरधरो देवो हनन्त इति विश्रुतः॥
English: Hearing this the long-armed (Ravana) again said to the ascetic:-"Do you tell me at length what are his marks." Hearing the words of the lord of Raksasas, the ascetic replied:-"Hearken, I shall relate to you every thing, O foremost of Raksasas. That great deity pervade all, is minute, invisible ever-existing, and manifest over the universe consisting of mobile and immobile creations. He is present in the celestials region, in the earth, in the region underneath the earth, on the mountains, in the forests, in all stationary objects, in all rivers and in all cities. He is Om, truth, Sāvitri and earth. He is known as the deity Dharādhara (holder of earth) and Ananta.
Sanskrit: अहश्च रात्रिश्च उभे च संध्ये दिवाकरशैव यमच सोमः। स एव कालो ह्यनिलोऽनलश्च स ब्रह्मरुद्रेन्द्र स एव चापः॥ विद्योतति ज्वलति भाति लोकान्सृजत्ययं संहरति प्रशास्ति। क्रीडां करोत्यव्ययलोकनाथो विष्णुः पुराणो भवनाशकैकः॥

Sanskrit: अथवा बहुनानेन किमुक्तेन दशानन। तेन सर्वमिदं व्याप्तं त्रैलोक्यं सचराचरम्॥ नीलोत्पलदलश्यामः किंजल्कारुणवाससा। प्रावृट्काले यथा व्योम्नि सतडित्तोयदो यथा॥ श्रीमान्मेघवपुः श्यामः शुभः पङ्कजलोचनः। श्रीवत्सेनोरसा युक्तः शशाङ्ककृतलक्षणः॥ तस्य नित्यं शरीरस्था मेघस्येव शतहदाः। सामरूपिणी लक्ष्मीदेहमावृत्य तिष्ठति॥
English: What is the use of speaking more, O Dasanana, He comprehends the three worlds, the mobile and immobile. Wearing a yellow raiment like to the filaments of lotus, Narayana, resembling dark-blue lotus in colour, is resplendent like to clouds in the welkin accompanied by lightening. And covering his person, Laksmi, in the shape of warfare, lies stationed in his body like to lightning in the clouds.
Sanskrit: शीलाचारगुणोपेता साध्वी धैर्यसमन्विता। सहस्रांशो रश्मिरिव ह्येका मूर्तिरिव स्थिता॥ एवं ते सर्वमाख्यातं मया रावण विस्तरात्। महतो देवदेवस्य शाश्वतस्याव्यंयस्य च॥ एवं श्रुत्वा महाबाहु राक्षसेन्द्रः प्रतापवान्। त्वया सह विरोधेच्छुश्चिन्तयामास राघव॥ सनत्कुमारात्तद्वाक्यं चिन्तयानो मुहुर्मुहुः। रावणो मुमुदे श्रीमान्युद्धार्थ विचचार ह॥ श्रुत्वा च तां कथां रामो विस्मयोत्फुल्ललोचनः। शिरसञ्चालनं कृत्वा विस्मयं परमं गतः॥ श्रुत्वा तु वाक्यं स नरेश्वरस्तदा मुदा युतो विस्मयमानचक्षुः। पुनश्च तं ज्ञानवतां प्रधानमुवाच वाक्यं वद मे पुरातनम्॥३०
English: She will be graced with a good conduct, chaste and patient; and Sitã and Răma shall always together like the rays to the sun. Rāvaņa, I have thus related to you everything about the Närāyaṇa, the great Brahmana, eternal and incomprehensible." O Raghava, hearing those words, the highly powerful lord of Raksasas began to concert plans for entering into conflict with you. Meditating again and again over Sanatkumāra's words and delighted he began to journey for battle." Hearing those words, Rāma with his eyes expanded in surprise, was greatly wondered. And being delighted he again said to Agastya, the foremost of the wise:-"Do you recount the ancient stories."
Sanskrit: ततः पुनर्महातेजाः कुम्भयोनिमहायशाः। उवाच रामं प्रणतं पितामह इवेश्वरम्॥ श्रूयतामिति चोवाच रामं सत्यपराक्रमम्। कथाशेषं महातेजाः कथयामास स प्रभुः॥ यथाख्यानं श्रुतं चैव यथावृत्तं यथा तथा। प्रीतात्मा कथयामास राघवाय महामतिः॥ एतदर्थं महाबाहो रावणेन दुरात्मना। सुता जनकराजस्य हृता राम महामते॥
English: The highly effulgent and illustrious Agastya, spring from a vessel, again addressed the humble Rāma as the great Patriarch sprung from lotus spoke to the Great Deity. He said to Răma, having truth for his prowess:-"Do you hear." Saying this, the highly effulgent Agastya began to narrate the last portion of the story. The high-minded saint, with a delighted heart, described to Rāma all he has heard and narrated." O high-minded Rama, having long arms, it is for this reason that the vicioussouled Rāvana stole away Janaki, the daughter of king Janaka.
Sanskrit: एतां कथां महाबाहो नारदः सुमहायशाः। कथयामास दुर्धर्ष मेरौ गिरिवरोत्तमे॥ देवगन्धर्वसिद्धानामृषीणां च महात्मनाम्। कथाशेषं पुनः सोऽथ कथयामास राघव॥ नारदः सुमहातेजाः प्रहसन्निव मानद। तां कथां शृणु राजेन्द्र महापापप्रणाशनीम्॥ यां तु श्रुत्वा महाबाहो ऋषयो दैवतैः सह। ऊचुस्तं नारदं सर्वे हर्षपर्याकुलेक्षणम्॥ यश्चमां श्रावयेन्नित्यं शृणुयाद्वापि भक्तितः। स पुत्रपौत्रवानराम स्वर्गलोके महीयते॥
English: O you having long arms! O you of many glories! O you invincible! Närada recounted this story to me on the summit of mountain-chief Meru. O Rāghava, the highly effulgent one narrated to me the last portion of this story in the presence of the celestials, Gandharvas, Siddhas, ascetics and other great men. O lord of kings, O conferror of honours, do you listen to that story which remove monstrous iniquity. Hearing this you having long arms, said to the ascetic Nārada “He who shall reverentially listen to this story every day, shall be bless with sons and grandsons and be honoured in the region of the celestials.
Sanskrit: ततः स राक्षसो राम पर्यटन्पृथिवीतले। विजयार्थी महाशूरै राक्षसैः परिवारितः॥ दैत्यदानवरक्षःसु यं शृणोति बलाधिकम्। तमाह्वयति युद्धार्थी रावणो बलदर्पितः॥ एवं स पर्यटन्सर्वां पृथिवीं पृथिवीपते। ब्रह्मलोकान्निवर्तन्तं समासाद्याथ रावणः॥ व्रजन्तं मेघपृष्ठस्थमंशुमन्तमिवापरम्। तमभिसृत्य प्रीतात्मा ह्यभिवाद्य कृताञ्जलिः॥ उवाच हृष्टमनसा नारदं रावणस्तदा। आब्रह्मभुवनं लोकास्त्वया दृष्टा ह्यनेकशः॥ कस्मिल्लोके महाभाग मानवा बलवत्तराः। योद्धमिच्छामि तैः सार्धं यथाकामं यदृच्छया॥
English: Thereupon being desirous of achieving victories, Ravana, the lord of Raksasas, proud of his strength, began to journey over the earth in the company of the heroic Rākşasas. Whoever, among the Daityas, Dänavas and Räkşasas was reported to him as being powerful he used to invite for battle. O king of earth, having thus traversed the whole world, the ten-necked demon saw the saint Nărada returning to his own region from Brahmaloka. Like the second sun he was proceeding through the clouds. Rāvana, with a delighted heart, neared him and addressed the celestial saint Nārada with folded palms, saying:-"O you gifted with six sorts of wealth, you have seen many a time all creations from Brahmā down to an insect. Do you tell me, O great one, the inhabitants of which, world are more powerful? I wish to fight with them according to my desire."
Sanskrit: चिन्तयित्वा मुहूर्तं तु नारदः प्रत्युवाच तम्। अस्ति राजन्महाद्वीपं क्षीरोदस्य समीपतः॥ तत्र ते चन्द्रसंकाशा मानवाः सुमहाबलाः। महाकाया महावीर्या मेघस्तनितनि:स्वनाः॥ महामात्रा धैर्यवन्तो महापरिघबाहवः। श्वेतद्वीपे मया दृष्टा मानवा राक्षसाधिप।॥ बलवीर्यसमोपेतान्यादृशास्त्वमिहेच्छसि। नारदस्य वचः श्रुत्वा रावणः प्रत्युवाच ह॥
English: Whereto, thinking for a moment, the celestial saint Nārada replied: "O king, there is an insular continent near the milky ocean. All the inhabitants that live there are gifted with strength-effulgent like the rays of the moon, huge-bodied, highly powerful and have a voice deep as the muttering of the clouds. They are all greatly beautiful, patient and have huge arms. O king of Rākşasas, I have seen in Swetadvipa such powerful men, as you do want to see on this earth.” Hearing the words of Narada, Ravana said.
Sanskrit: तासामेका ततः क्रुद्धा बालवद्गृह्य लीलया। भ्रामितस्तु सखीमध्ये मध्ये गृह्य दशाननम्॥ सखीमन्यां समाहूय पश्य त्वं कीटकं धृतम्। दशास्यं विंशतिभुजं कृष्णाञ्जनसमप्रभम्॥ हस्ताद्धस्तं स च क्षिप्तो भ्राम्यते भ्रमलालसः। भ्राम्यप्राणेन बलिना राक्षसेन विपश्चिता॥ पाणावेकाथ संदष्टा रोषेण वनिता शुभा। मुक्तस्तयाशुभ: कीटो धुन्वन्त्या हस्तवेदनात्॥ गृहीत्वान्या तु रक्षेन्द्रमुत्पपात विहायसा। ततस्तामपि संक्रुद्धो विददार नखै शम्॥ तया सह विनिर्वृतः सहसैव निशाचरः। पपात सोऽम्भसो मध्ये सागरस्य भयातुरः॥
English: But one of them, being enraged, took up Rāvana, like a child, as if in sport and hurled him among her companions. And addressing another she said: "Behold, I have caught this black Rāvaņa, having twenty arms and ten faces, like a small insect. Thereupon Rāvana, being worn out with hurling, passed from one hand to another. Being thus hurled the learned and powerful Rāvana, in anger, severely bit the palms of that fair one. Being overwhelmed with pain that damsel let him off. Thereupon, another, taking that Raksasachief, rose up in the welkin. Ravana, again waxing wroth tore her with his nails. And being left off by that damsel, the terrified night-ranger fell down into the waters of the deep.
