Hanuman then looked around and saw a portion of the house contained couches so beautiful like those in heaven, made of crystal, decorated with diamonds with wonderful parts made of ivory and gold and covered with superb looking beds made of cat's eye gems of immense value. Hanuman saw in that room an umbrella white in colour decorated with exquisite flower garlands and resembling moon - the lord of stars. Hanuman also saw a particularly excellent couch made of gold with the radiance of fire, spread by garlands of Ashoka flowers. Fanned by women with fans in their hands in all the four directions the various fragrances obtained by fumigating the top quality incenses. It was covered by an excellent bed spread by sheep skin everywhere and shone by rows of excellent garlands. Hanuman saw Ravana there, looing like a cloud, wearing earrings with a brilliant shine with red eyes and with long arms wearing gold clothes. With his body smeared with red sandal-wood, with good fragrance like a cloud in the red sky at sunset, together with groups of lightening. Ravana was filled with excellent jewelry, with a good appearance, with an ability to assume desired form, resembling mount Mandara in sleep together with groups of trees and bushes. Bedecked with the finest ornaments he was resting after enjoying a pleasant at night with his lovely wives. Hanuman saw the gallant king of rakshasas in sleep on a shining couch. He cautiously neared Ravana to have a good look at him. After seeing the lord of Lanka, Hanuman became very gloomy and moved away with great dread, as though from a hissing serpent. Thereafter Hanuman went to the staircase, and on second thoughts sat on a step of the staircase and looked at Ravana again. The excellent couch of the sleeping Ravana shone like a great lake when a scented elephant resides in it. Ravana's arms tied with golden armlets thrown apart resembling flag staffs raised in honour of Indra.
Those arms had wounds made by the stabbings from the pointed edges of the tusks of Iraavata and his fleshy shoulders smeared with diamond and hit by Vishnu chakra. These arms of Ravana were opulent with well grown and equally strong shoulders proportionate to his body, with knees and thumbs of good characteristics, with good fingers and palms. With strong joints in the shape of a club, round in shape resembling the trunks of an elephant and looked like five headed snakes thrown on a clean couch. Shoulders well smeared by the top quality sandal with excellent fragrance and very cool resembling a hare's blood, well decorated, massaged by the women well trained in that respect, served by the top quality sandal which made yakshas, nagas, gandharvas, devas and daanavaas jealous. Hanuman saw Ravana's arms on the couch looking like great serpents in anger sleeping in the middle of the mount Mandara. That great asura looked like a mountain with his massive shoulders, which were well built and shone like Mount Mandara with twin peaks. The breath came out of the remarkable faces (I mean noses) of that king of Rakshasas who was sleeping, had varied fragrances like that of flowers of chuuta, punnaaga and Vakula, cooked rice, the smell of liquor etc. Hanuman noticed that the the gigantic king of rakshashas with loving wives, who were sleeping at the feet of their loving husband, shone with crown tilted to the side, having strange hue with pearls and diamonds and of golden colour, with faces made brilliant by earrings, shone with the chest region smeared with red sandal shining with a necklace wide, high and opulent, tied with a silk cloth of white colour falling on him, with eyes reddish like blood, well dressed by a finest cloth of yellow colour and of very top quality, resembling a heap of black beans, snoring like a hiss of a python, like an elephant sleeping in the middle of water belonging to the great river Ganga with all the four directions shone by the four lamps of golden colour, resembling a cloud with all the parts being shone by groups of lighting. The élite Vanara, Hanuman saw those wives of Ravana with faces the radiance of moon, adorned with beautiful earrings, wearing jewelry and flower garlands which were not worn out. Hanuman also noticed that the wives of Ravana with skill in dance and musical instruments who managed to reach the shoulders of the sleeping Ravana wearing the elegant jewelry, slept there peacefully. The earrings of those women at the end of ears embedded with diamonds and cats eye gems were shining. The faces of those women with such delicate and lovely earrings looked like the moon and that place shone like the sky with clusters of stars. The women of Ravana being tired from lustful passion and exertion slept peacefully. Another woman with skill in dancing and with a delicate body postures slept in the same way with all her body parts making the same dance postures. One woman hugging veena and sleeping was shining like a lotus plant thrown away by the flow of a great river and resorting a boat. Another woman with black eyes sleeping with an instrument called madduka under arm pit shone like a woman carrying an infant boy with love. A woman with a beautiful body features with beautiful breasts slept hugging tightly the instrument called pataha as though hugging a lover whom she met after a long time. Another woman with lotus like eyes hugging a flute slept like a woman with lust holding her lover in secret. Another woman skilled in dance was sleeping with an instrument like veena and being in tune with it like a woman together with her lover. Another woman with lusty eyes slept hugging a percussion instrument called mridanga with her body parts which were pleasant and resembled gold and which were smooth and fleshy. Another woman with thin stomach slept due to tiresomeness from lust together with an instrument called Padama between her shoulders and reaching arm pits. Another woman with an instrument called Dindinma near her slept in the same way as a woman hugging her husband and also her child. Another woman with eyes like lotus petals slept with the instrument called adambara pressing it by her shoulders being desired by lust. Another woman sleeping shone like a flower garland with the flowers of strange hue made auspicious in spring. Another woman slept hugging her breasts resembling golden pots by her hands overcome with sleep. Another woman with eyes like lotus petals, with her face resembling full moon, overcome with lust slept hugging another woman with a beautiful hip region. Some excellent women slept hugging strange instruments and pressing them with breasts as though a lustful woman with her lusty hubby.
Bored by such sights Hanuman looked around and exclaimed softly to himself "Hey! Look at that lady! Lucky fellow! You got what you are searching for!". This was due to the fact that he saw among those women a very beautiful woman sleeping on an auspicious couch arranged alone at a side. It was Mandodari, but Hanuman did not know Mandodari. She looked extremely beautiful which was enhanced by the beautiful jewelry of diamonds and pearls worn by her. Hanuman thought that she would be as beautiful as she was now even without any ornaments. Hanuman thought that her radiance seemed decorating that great building. Hanuman concluded that that sleeping beauty was Seetha. He was delighted by his finding. He clasped his arms, kissed his tail; he was thrilled; he was jubilant; sang, paced joyously; climbed pillars and fell down on land. He simply could not contain his joy.
