English Meaning
And loud was the tumult that was raised by the monkeys. And mighty was the din that was heard of those, uprooting trees and taking up ponderous crags, of the Räkşasas roaring and the monkeys storming in both the exhilarated armies of Raksasa and wood-rangers, of vehement and able (warriors) eager for slaying each other, and challenging each other to fight.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
