सारथिः स रथं हृष्टः परसैन्यप्रधर्षणम्। गन्धर्वनगराकारं समुच्छ्रितपताकिनाम्॥ युक्तं परमसंपत्नैर्वाजिभिहेममालिभिः। युद्धोपकरणैः पूर्णं पताकाध्वजमालिनम्॥ असन्तमिव चाकाशं नादयन्तं वसुंधराम्। प्रणाशं परसैन्यानां स्वसैन्यस्य प्रहर्षणम्॥

English Meaning
Then the charioteer fully drove with speed Rāvaņa's car, capable of bringing down the hosts of foes, resembling in form a city of the Gandharvas having elevated streamers, yoked with surpassingly superb steeds, engarlanded in gold: stocked with war-like implements; furnished with ensigns and standards; appearing to devour the welkin; making the earth herself resound; destructive to hostile host; and filling its own party with delight.
