English Meaning
Rāvana also saw some in front of houses engaged in merry-making with songs and strains of instruments, as the fruit of their pious acts; and (saw) the giver of kine regaling themselves with milk; the dispenser of rice, feeding on the same, the bestower of abodes, enjoying mansions, as the fruit of their several acts; and persons living with damsels decked with gold and gems and jewels; and other pious folks, flaming in their native energy, all these saw Rāvana lord of Rākşasas. And by his might that mighty one delivered those that were being tormented by their wicked acts.
