Thus, other Vidyaadhara kings, filled with joy, set out towards Lanka's lord, enraged and ready for battle. ||26||
The warriors, rushing towards him, their forms like churning seas, met in a fierce clash, resembling the towering waves of the Ganga. ||30||
Then, Rama and Lakshmana, their bodies adorned with the brilliance of pure fame, emerged from their abode, ready for war. ||31||
Mounted on a chariot drawn by lions, clad in armor, strong and valiant, they shone like the rising sun, Padmaabha leading the way. ||32||
Riding a Garuda chariot, his banner bearing the image of the great Garuda, his shadow like a towering cloud, his garments dark as the shade, ||33||
Adorned with a crown, earrings, bow, armor, quiver, and arrows, Lakshmana, his form like the crimson of twilight, shone brightly. ||34||
Other great Vidyaadharas, the celestial beings of Bhaalangkaara-pura, along with the श्रेणिक, emerged, riding various vehicles and flying chariots. ||35||
As they moved, the birds, with their sweet, gentle calls, filled the air, delighting the inhabitants of their chosen lands. ||36||
Facing them, enraged, endowed with immense strength, and swift as a raging fire, Ravana advanced. ||37||
