To probe Ravan's own chambers
Ventured Hanuman further down.
Armaments stacked in piles he found
With rare conchs that give war cries.
With flaw none in cut or shine
Vessels he found with gems to brim.
What he saw in Ravan's place
To his wonder he found parked
Aircar unique called Pushpak.
Stood out for its looks Pushpak
Seemed it was like made for gods.
Lodged in it were women of charm
Live wire like they moved in aisles.
In its splendour looked Pushpak
Like the moon on earth landed.
Insignia it had hills of gold
Bore they trees of flowers diamond.
Housed it mansions furrows-long
Lawns theirs had large swimming pools.
Seemed it as if on take-off
Sight that made him rub his eyes.
Carved were birds on huge corals
Made of gems were horse statues.
Birds therein all seemed to him
Like the allies of Love God.
Goddess Lakshmi's deity lay
On lotus red in blue waters
With elephants white on either side.
Swayed as it him no end then
Went he in thrall round Pushpak.
Overawed though he by Pushpak
Resumed his search soon Hanuman.
Having failed to trace Seetha
Seized was he with thus sorrow.
