Verse 11.38

एवमुक्तो दशग्रीवः प्रहस्तेन महाबलः। विवेश नगरी लङ्का भ्रातृभिः सबलानुगैः॥ धनदेन परित्यक्तां सुविभक्तमहापथाम्। आरुरोह स देवारिः स्वर्ग देवाधिपो यथा॥

evamukto daśagrīvaḥ prahastena mahābalaḥ| viveśa nagarī laṅkā bhrātṛbhiḥ sabalānugaiḥ|| dhanadena parityaktāṃ suvibhaktamahāpathām| āruroha sa devāriḥ svarga devādhipo yathā||

English Meaning

Thus addressed by Prahasta, the redoubtable Ten-necked one, entered the city of Lanka with his brothers and forces and followers. And then even as the lord of the celestials ascends heaven, that foe of the immortals ascended Lanka welldivided by highways, which had been forsaken by the lord of wealth.
