Padma Purana
They, both, having attained supreme prosperity, entered their respective cities, Kishkindha and Ayodhya, which were like the city of Indra, adorned with golden mansions and endowed with worthy rulers. || 499 ||
Ravana, bearing great prosperity and fame, was proceeding towards the peak of Trikuta, with his ministers bowing down to him. He was the best, and like the moon in the bright fortnight, he was constantly filled with the wealth of his devotees. He was riding on the beautiful Pushpaka Vimana, which could travel at will, adorned with a garland of jewels and a row of lofty peaks. He was endowed with supreme patience and had attained the fruits of his good deeds. || 500-503 ||
Then, hordes of Rakshasas, filled with joy, adorned with various ornaments and wearing the finest clothes, followed him, shouting auspicious words like, "Victory to you, O Lord! May you prosper, live long, grow, and continue to attain progress." || 504-505 ||
They were mounted on various vehicles like lions, tigers, elephants, horses, and swans. They were filled with various illusions, their eyes were wide with joy, and they were adorned with the forms of the gods. Their brilliance filled the directions, and their radiance illuminated all the directions. They were moving through forests, mountains, and oceans. || 506-507 ||
They saw the ocean, which was deep and boundless, filled with huge crocodiles, dark like a Tamala forest, with waves as high as mountains, terrifying with many large serpents like those in the netherworld, and adorned with various jewels. They were filled with wonder and exclaimed, "Oh! Indeed!" and other words of wonder. Thus, many Rakshasas followed Ravana. || 508-510 ||
