34 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे सुन्दरकाण्डे अष्टादशः सर्गः ॥५-१८॥ तथा विप्रेक्षमाणस्य वनं पुष्पितपादपम्। विचिन्वतश्च वैदेहीं किञ्चिच्छेषा निशाभवत्॥ १॥
In the revered Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Sundarakāṇḍa, the eighteenth sarga. And while he was gazing at the forest with its flowering trees, and while he was searching for Vaidehī, only a little of the night remained.
षडंगवेदविदुषां क्रतुप्रवरयाजिनाम्। शुश्राव ब्रह्मघोषान् स विरात्रे ब्रह्मरक्षसाम्॥ २॥
During the night, he heard the Brahmanic chants of the Brahma-rākṣasas, who were learned in the six branches of the Veda and performers of the foremost sacrifices.
अथ मंगलवादित्रैः शब्दैः श्रोत्रमनोहरैः। प्राबोध्यत महाबाहुर्दशग्रीवो महाबलः॥ ३॥
Then the mighty ten-necked one, great in strength and long-armed, was awakened by auspicious musical sounds pleasing to the ear.
विबुध्य तु महाभागो राक्षसेन्द्रः प्रतापवान्। स्रस्तमाल्याम्बरधरो वैदेहीमन्वचिन्तयत्॥ ४॥
Having awakened, the greatly fortunate and powerful lord of the rākṣasas, his garlands and garments disordered, thought of Vaidehī.
भृशं नियुक्तस्तस्यां च मदनेन मदोत्कटः। न तु तं राक्षसः कामं शशाकात्मनि गूहितुम्॥ ५॥
He was intensely preoccupied with her through desire, and, maddened by intoxication or passion, the rākṣasa could not conceal that desire within himself.
