English Meaning
And (there) in the residence of that lord of the Rākşasas, he beheld various bands of Rākṣasis, as well as Rākşasas of gigantic frames, upraising various kinds of weapons; and steeds of exceeding fleetness, red, and white, and black; and first-rate elephants, possessed of eninent grace, capable of crushing hostile elephants, and well trained in arts relative to their species-like Airāvata himself in conflict. And there in that mansion he saw (all these elephants), destroyers of hostile hosts—like to pouring clouds, or hills, sending up fountains, rumbling like to clouds, and invincible in battle by foes.
