शिखरोंसे सुशोभित हैं, जो उपरितन अग्र भागपर जिन-प्रतिमाओंसे सहित हैं, उत्तमोत्तम बगीचोंसे युक्त हैं तथा जिनपर सफेद ध्वजाएँ फहरा रही हैं ऐसे जिनमन्दिरोंको देख रहा हूँ ॥५४-५५॥ लम्बी-चौड़ी वापिकाओं तथा धानके हरे-भरे खेतोंसे घिरे गांव और गन्धर्वनगरोंकी तुलना धारण करनेवाले नगर भी दिखाई दे रहे हैं। इस प्रकार बहुत भारी वसतिकाएँ दिखाई दे रही हैं परन्तु उनमें आदमी एक भी नहीं दिखाई देता ॥५६-५७|| क्या यहांकी प्रजा अपने समस्त परिवारके साथ नष्ट हो गयी है अथवा क्रूर कर्म करनेवाले म्लेच्छोंने उसे बन्दी बना लिया है ? ॥५८॥ बहुत दूर, एक पुरुष-जैसा आकार दिखाई देता है जो ठूठ नहीं है पुरुष ही मालूम होता है क्योंकि . उसकी प्रकृति चंचल है ।।५९।। परन्तु यह जा रहा हैं या आ रहा है इसका पता नहीं चलता। कुछ देर तक गौरसे देखनेके बाद लक्ष्मणने कहा कि 'यह आ रहा है' यही जान पड़ता है, अच्छा, मार्गपर आने दो तभी इसे विशेषतासे जान सकूँगा ॥६०|| लक्ष्मणने फिर देखकर कहा कि यह पुरुष मृगके समान भयभीत होकर शीघ्र ही आ रहा है, इसके शिरके बाल रूखे तथा खड़े हैं, दीन है, इसका शरीर मैलसे दूषित है, पसीना झर रहा है और पूर्वोपार्जित पाप कर्मको दिखा रहा है ॥६१-६२।।
रामने लक्ष्मणसे कहा कि इसे शीघ्र ही यहाँ बुलाओ। तब लक्ष्मण नीचे उतरकर आश्चर्यके साथ उसके पास गया ॥६३॥ लक्ष्मणको देखकर उस पुरुषको रोमांच उठ आये। वह आश्चर्यसे भर गया और अपनी गति कुछ धीमी कर मनमें इस प्रकार विचार करने लगा ॥६४|| कि यह जो वृक्षको कम्पित करनेवाला नीचे उतरकर आया है सो क्या इन्द्र है ? या वरुण है ? या दैत्य है ? या नाग है ? या किन्नर है ? या मनुष्य है ? या यम है ? या चन्द्रमा है ? या अग्नि है ? या कुबेर है ? या पृथिवीपर आया सूर्य है ? अथवा उत्तम शरीरका धारी कौन है ? ॥६५-६६।। इस प्रकार विचार करते-करते उसके नेत्र महाभयसे बन्द हो गये, शरीर निश्चेष्ट पड़ गया और वह मूच्छित होकर पृथिवीपर गिर पड़ा ॥६७|| यह देख लक्ष्मणने कहा कि भद्र ! उठ-उठ, डर मत । कुछ देर बाद जब चैतन्य हुआ तब लक्ष्मण उसे रामके पास ले गया ॥६८॥

I am seeing those Jain temples which are adorned with peaks, which have Jain images in their upper front part, which are equipped with excellent gardens and on which white flags are fluttering. ||55|| I am also seeing villages surrounded by long and wide tanks and green fields of paddy and cities which are comparable to Gandharvanagara. ||56|| Thus, very large settlements are visible but not a single human being is seen in them. ||57|| Has the population here perished along with their entire families or have the cruel-deeds-performing Mlechchas taken them captive? ||58|| A human-like figure is visible from a great distance, which is not a stump but seems to be a human being because his nature is fickle. ||59|| But it is not clear whether he is going or coming. After observing carefully for a while, Lakshmana said, "It seems he is coming. Okay, let him come on the path, then I will be able to know him specifically." ||60|| Lakshmana then looked again and said, "This man is coming quickly, like a frightened deer. His hair is rough and standing, he is meek, his body is polluted with dirt, he is sweating and showing his past evil deeds." ||61-62||
Rama said to Lakshmana, "Bring him here quickly." Then Lakshmana descended and went near him with wonder. ||63|| Seeing Lakshmana, the man's hair stood on end. He was filled with wonder and slowed down his pace, thinking in his mind ||64|| that this one who has come down, shaking the tree, is he Indra? Or is he Varuna? Or is he a Daitya? Or is he a Naga? Or is he a Kinnara? Or is he a human being? Or is he Yama? Or is he the Moon? Or is he Agni? Or is he Kubera? Or is he the Sun who has come to the earth? Or who is this bearer of a superior body? ||65-66|| Thinking thus, his eyes closed due to great fear, his body became motionless and he fell unconscious on the earth. ||67|| Seeing this, Lakshmana said, "O noble one! Get up, get up, don't be afraid." After a while, when he regained consciousness, Lakshmana took him to Rama. ||68||
