English Meaning
Thereupon exclaiming his victory Prahasta said to Rāvaņa, “O king, we are destroyed by cold, so we must go away from here. The Rākşasas have been terrified by the rays of the moon; O foremost of kings, the cold rays of the moon have the natural property of fire in them." Hearing the words of Prahasta, Ravana, beside himself with wrath, having uplifted his bow and twanged it, began to assail him with Naracs.
