The monkey soldiers occupied all the sporting grounds, granaries, treasuries, doors and city gates, assembly houses, palace turrets and even the resting houses of the pigeons. When the city's crossroads, platforms, flags and golden waterpots on its domes were all destroyed, the entire city of Laṅkā appeared like a river disturbed by a herd of elephants.
The city’s playgrounds, granaries, treasuries, doors, city gates, assembly houses, turrets (balabhī) and pigeon houses (viṭāṅgkāh) were occupied by the monkeys. The platforms and crossroads (śṛṇgāṭakāḥ) were broken, like a river agitated by elephants.
