"Sabha Parva Hark to the rushing and clangour, the snorting, and galloping rattle — 'Tis Ravan the ten-headed Titan to Lanka come home from the battle With Rama the Prince of Ayodhya, and Laxman matchless archer, And Hanumanta the chief of the monkeys, that most astonishing marcher. Down from his chariot of polished steel the Titan monarch descended, And straight to his lofty sleeping chamber overlooking Lanka ascended; There having doffed his coat of mail, and hung up his tenfold crown, And quaffed a dozen mashaks of wine, the Ten-headed laid him down. And he called his magnanimous wife, the Titaness Mandodari, And he told her beside him to take her seat upon a bearskin godari And shampoo his limbs while he went to sleep, for he felt fatigued and weary... And at last he started up and woke, with a wild tremendous scream!"
