अथ and then, तस्य his, दृष्ट्यर्पणसम्प्रचोदितः spurred by the glance of the king, प्रतापवान् glorious, सः that, काञ्चनचित्रकार्मुकः holding a marvellous bow inlaid with gold, सदसि the royal assembly, द्विजातिमुख्यैः by the reputed brahmins, हविषा with oblations, उदीरितः kindled, पावकः इव like the firesanctuary, समुत्पपात sprang up.
English Commentary
Spurred by the mere glance of Ravana, the glorious Aksha with his wonderful bow inlaid with gold sprang up from the royal assembly just as flame rises from firesanctuary when oblations are poured in by reputed brahmins.
