For prince and noble,[637] Lakshmaṇ gazed:

Like clouds of paly hue they shone

With fragrant wreaths that hung thereon:

There wealth of jewels was enshrined,

And fairer gems of womankind.

There gleamed, of noble height and size,

Like Indra's mansion in the skies,

Protected by a crystal fence

Of rock, the royal residence,

With roof and turret high and bright
