Valmiki Ramayana — Kishkindha Kanda

Verse 64.5

प्रसुप्तमिव चान्यत्र क्रीडन्तमिव चान्यतः। क्वचित् पर्वतमात्रैश्च जलराशिभिरावृतम्॥ संकुलं दानवेन्द्रैश्च पातालतलवासिभिः। रोमहर्षकरं दृष्ट्वा विषेदुः कपिकुञ्जराः॥

prasuptamiva cānyatra krīḍantamiva cānyataḥ| kvacit parvatamātraiśca jalarāśibhirāvṛtam|| saṃkulaṃ dānavendraiśca pātālatalavāsibhiḥ| romaharṣakaraṃ dṛṣṭvā viṣeduḥ kapikuñjarāḥ||

English Meaning

Seeing the sea, here as if asleep, there, as if playful, and at another place with surges measuring mountains; and thronged with the foremost Dānavas inhabiting the nether regions; and capable of causing one's hair to stand on end, those powerful monkeys were seized with sadness.

M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
