4. The sky was, as though pervaded, all around, by the full-(throated), sweet, (but) piteous cries of the birds which, having abandoned the watery body of the lakes, were filying again and again towards the sky.
5. And, it was not that the monkey did not unite with fire any one block of golden buildings. Nor that by it (the fire) which did not stop spreading and which effected the destruction of snow anything was not reduced to melting.
6. Intense laughter ended; the joyous amours of love aroused by Cupid waned; the proud ladies, whose delight was killed, were no (longer) infatuated; the desired welfare of the city was not accomplished.
7. Brilliant in its interior, with its buildings set fire to, Lanka which was much liked by Siva , which had the encourager (of the demons) for its protector and which was capable of fulfilling ample desires, was burnt out.
8. The distress of the demons scampering in every direction became manifest; by the great men that were moving about was undertaken manifold activity that was devoid of greatness.
