English Meaning
If did you permit me I may say all these shedemons who had tortured you before, distressed you in the forest of Asoka, stricken with grief of your lord, and who are cruel, have grim eyes and who perpetrate always dreadful deeds. worshipful dame, I have heard that these grimvisaged she demons distressed you greatly with harsh words at the command of Rāvaņa.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
