The land was fortified with seven enclosures, with entrances sealed off and guarded by warriors clad in armor and wielding bows.
**29.** At the first gate stood Neel, bow in hand. At the second, Nal, wielding a mace, stood like a cloud.
**30.** At the third, Vibhishana, holding a trident, stood tall and generous. He was adorned with garlands of jewels, his radiance like that of the Lord Shiva.
**31.** Kumuda stood at the fourth gate, armed with a quiver and arrows. At the fifth, the valiant Sushena stood, spear in hand.
**32.** Sugriva, with his massive arms and wielding the weapon called Bindumala, stood like Indra himself at the sixth gate.
**33.** At the seventh gate stood Bhamandala, the slayer of great kings, his sword drawn, guarding the perimeter.
**34.** At the eastern gate stood Sharabha, his banner marked with the symbol of a Sharabha. At the western gate stood Jambavan, the prince.
**35.** At the northern gate, surrounded by a throng of ministers, stood Chandramarichi, the powerful son of Bali.
**36.** Thus, the land, created by the efforts of the Vidhyadhara kings, shone brightly, like the sky adorned with a multitude of pure stars.
**37.** Those other Vidhyadhara kings who did not return from the battle stood, their banners spread, covering the southern direction.
**38.** Gautama Swami said, "O Shrenik! Those who had made such efforts, who had guarded so diligently, who doubted Lakshmana's survival, who were filled with wonder and grief, and who had accepted the truth, all those Vidhyadhara kings stood in their places."
**39.** Neither men, nor horses, nor elephants, nor even the gods can prevent the fruit of the sun of karma, which is born from the self, from shining upon mankind.
**40.** Thus ends the sixty-third chapter of the Padma Purana, titled "Shaktibheda and Ramavilapa," narrated by the sage Ravipeena.
