6.11.2

taṃ meruśikharākāraṃ dīptām iva śatahradām
gaganasthaṃ mahīsthās te dadṛśur vānarādhipāḥ

Soon as his bitter words were said,
To Raghu's sons Vibhíshan fled.
Their eyes the Vánar leaders raised
And on the air-borne Bákhshas gazed,
Bright as a thunderbolt, in size
Like Meru's peak that cleaves the skies,
In gorgeous panoply arrayed
Like Indra's self he stood displayed,
And four attendants brave and bold
Shone by their chief in mail and gold.
Sugríva then with dark surmise
Bent on their forms his wondering eyes,
And thus in hasty words confessed
The anxious doubt that moved his breast:
' Look, look ye Vánars, and beware:
That giant chief sublime in air
With other four in bright array
Comes armed to conquer and to slay.'
