English Meaning
Protected by terrible Rākṣasas, like a mighty forests by lions. And as that foremost of monkeys saw the mansion, with fretted arches plated with silver and embellished with gold, beautifully abounding in splendid courts and gateways; containing elephant-drivers, and heroes knowing no fatigue; ever coursed by irresistible steeds drawing cars, and curious vehicles, covered over with skins of lions and tigers, resounding with bells hung thereon, and embosoming effigies of ivory, gold and silver, the locality of mighty cars, and the home of mighty car-warriors; filled all around with many thousand of divers beauteous and dainty birds and beasts; well protected by meek Rākṣas warders at the outskirts; thronged about with magnificent dames of the first order; containing gems of joyous damsels-the abode of the foremost Rākṣasas—sounding like the sea with the sounds of superb ornaments.
