English Meaning
O brother, this belongs either to the celestials or to the Rākşasas. Whose is this golden armour lying shattered on earth, resembling the newly risen sun, in colour and adorned with sapphire? Whose is this umbrella lying broken on earth, containing a hundred rod and adorned with celestial garlands? In whose conflict have these terrible asses, of large proportions, having faces of demon and with breast plates, been killed?
