कृत्स्नं हि कपिभिर्व्याप्तं प्राकारपरिखान्तरम्। ददृशू राक्षसा दीनाः प्राकारं वानरीकृतम्।। हाहाकारमकुर्वन्त राक्षसा भयमागताः॥
kṛtsnaṃ hi kapibhirvyāptaṃ prākāraparikhāntaram| dadṛśū rākṣasā dīnāḥ prākāraṃ vānarīkṛtam|| hāhākāramakurvanta rākṣasā bhayamāgatāḥ||
English Meaning
The space between the well and the moat all was flooded with monkeys. And the distressed Rākşasas saw the wall thronging with monkeys; and thereat exclaiming “Alas” “Alas,” the Rāks asa were extremely terrified. *A translator cannot help feeling of disappointment at the difference, to the disadvantage of English-between Sanskrit and English. The original for 'thronging with monkeys' is a verbal attributivevanarikrita-lit. monkeyed.
