## The Tenth Canto

Then, Dashaanan (Ravana) quickly picked up the statue and, enraged, asked the immortals, "What is this?" || 92 ||
Then, following swiftly, the men returned and reported, "O Lord, there is a great man here. || 93 ||
He sits amidst beautiful women, the epitome of joy, surrounded by men wielding swords, standing at a distance. || 94 ||
There are many large machines of various kinds. Surely, this feat was accomplished by them. || 95 ||
We believe that the men with him are merely for show. His true strength is formidable, unbearable to others. || 96 ||
It is said that there is a king named Indra in heaven or on Mount Meru. But we have seen this Indra before our very eyes. || 97 ||
Hearing the sound of the mridanga, mixed with the sounds of the veena, flute, and the shouts of victory, and the sounds of elephants, horses, and men, all urging the kings to action, Dashaanan became furious and commanded, "Capture this wicked man quickly!" || 98-99 ||
Following the command, Dashaanan performed the highest worship of the Jina statue on the riverbank, with offerings of jewels, gold, and flowers. || 100 ||
The Vidhyadhara kings, taking Dashaanan's command as a sacred duty, rushed towards the enemy, fully armed. || 101 ||
Seeing the enemy forces approaching, Sahasrakirana (the hero) was enraged. He gave assurance to the women and quickly emerged from the lake. || 102 ||
Hearing the commotion and knowing the news from the crowd, the warriors of Mahishmati, filled with fear, rushed out. || 103 ||
Mounted on elephants, horses, and chariots, surrounded by foot soldiers, and accompanied by their vassals wielding various weapons, they rushed towards Sahasrakirana, filled with immense devotion. || 104-105 ||
Seeing the approaching army of Vidhyadharas, the vassals of Sahasrakirana, abandoning their fear of death, rushed to meet them. || 106 ||
