या हि वैश्रवणे लक्ष्मीर्या चन्द्रे हरिवाहने। सा रावणगृहे रम्या नित्यमेवानपायिनी॥ या च राज्ञः कुबेरस्य यमस्य वरुणस्य च। तादृशी तद्विशिष्टा वा ऋद्धी रक्षोगृहेष्विह॥
yā hi vaiśravaṇe lakṣmīryā candre harivāhane| sā rāvaṇagṛhe ramyā nityamevānapāyinī|| yā ca rājñaḥ kuberasya yamasya varuṇasya ca| tādṛśī tadviśiṣṭā vā ṛddhī rakṣogṛheṣviha||
English Meaning
The same enchanting splendour that is in Vaiśravaņa or the ray-riding Moon, remained ever constant and abiding in, Rāvana's abode. And the prosperity of king Kubera, or Yama, or Varuna, was here present in the house of the Rākşas, or even surpassed by the prosperity (of Rāvana).
