Adhyathma Ramayanam - Esamskriti.com

Rama rode on the neck of Hanuman,
And Lakshmana rode the neck of Angadha,
And riding like that , they went to the Subela mountain,
Along with the great monkey army ,
For destroying the city of Lanka,
Reaching on the top of Subela mountain,
He saw the city of Lanka which ,
Is equal to the city of Devendra,
In the building was a wall of golden glitter ,
With hanging ornaments which are pretty,
With a tower resembling the Kailasa mountain,
Along with iron pestles and cannons ,
And on the top of that building , in a very broad place ,
Ravana was sitting with the opulence of Indra ,
On a gem studded throne with all his ministers,
Also shining with umbrellas with gem studded handles ,
With chowries , and round fans ,
Which were fanned by young lasses,
With ten shining crowns having the glitter of a blue mountain,
And was resembling a blue cloud and this was seen by Rama.
With great wonder growing in his heart,
He told the monkeys with a pretty smile.
Speedily release the Sukhasura ,
Who was imprisoned by us ,
Let him tell all the facts and happenings,
Without even leaving one without delay.
6.10 Ravana Shuka Samvadam
The talk between Ravana and Shuka
Ravana with ten faces then asked him,
“ Please tell me why is there delay in your return?
Did the chief monkeys catch you and insult you?
Please leave out the sorrow in your mind,
And tell the reason for your tiredness “
Shuka hearing the words of the king of Rakshasa,
Told the ten faced one the truth.
Oh great king of Rakshasas , victory , victory,
