यस्य विक्रममाणस्य शक्रस्येव पराक्रमः। एष गन्धर्वकन्यायामुत्पन्नः कृष्णवर्त्मना॥ तदा देवासुरे युद्धे साह्याथ त्रिदिवौकसाम्। यत्र वैश्रवणो राजा जम्बूमुपनिषेवते॥ यो राजा पर्वतेन्द्राणां बहुकिंनरसेविनाम्। विहारसुखदो नित्यं भ्रातुस्ते राक्षसाधिप॥ तत्रैष रमते श्रीमान्बलवान्वानरोत्तमः। युद्धेष्वकत्थनो नित्यं क्रथनो नाम यूथपः॥ वृतः कोटिसहस्रेण हरीणां समवस्थितः। एषैवाशंसते लङ्का स्वेनानीकेन मर्दितुम्॥
