ततः पुष्पकमारोप्य सीतां त्रिजटया सह। रावणश्चारयामास पताकाध्वजमालिनीम्॥ प्रावोषयत हृष्टश्च लङ्कायां राक्षसेश्वरः। राघवो लक्ष्मणश्चैव हताविन्द्रजिता रणे॥ विमानेनापि गत्वा तु सीता त्रिजटया सह। ददर्श वानराणां तु सर्वं सैन्यं निपातितम्॥

English Meaning
Placing Sītā on Puşpaka along with Trijatā, Răvana took her all round (Lankā) crowded with ensigns and standards. And the lord of Rākşasas jubilantly proclaimed in Lankā, Rāghava as well as Lakşmaņa have been slain by Indrajit in battle. And going about with Trijatā Sītā saw all the monkey-troops slain.
