Released by Arjuna, Ravana, lord of the Rakshasas, roamed over the whole earth, undaunted even after being treated so.

There Ravana beheld Vali, resembling a mountain of gold, his face radiant like the rising sun, intent upon his twilight worship.

śaśamālakṣya siṃho vā pannagaṃ garuḍo yathā | na cintayati taṃ vālī rāvaṇaṃ pāpaniścayam || 7.34.15 ||

As a lion takes no notice of a hare, or Garuda of a serpent, so Vali gave no real thought to Ravana, whose resolve was set on evil.

ityevaṃ matimāsthāya vālī karṇamupāśritaḥ | japanvai naigamānmantrāṃstasthau parvatarāḍiva || 7.34.18 ||

Having settled upon this resolve, Vali, raising his hand to his ear and softly reciting the Vedic mantras, stood firm like the king of mountains.

tāvanyonyaṃ jighṛkṣantau harirākṣasapārthivau | prayatnavantau tatkarma īhaturbaladarpitau || 7.34.19 ||

Meanwhile those two lords, the monkey and the rakshasa, each eager to seize the other, both exerting themselves and proud of their strength, strove to accomplish that very deed.

hastagrāhaṃ tu taṃ matvā pādaśabdena rāvaṇam | parāṅmukho 'pi jagrāha vālī sarpamivāṇḍajaḥ || 7.34.20 ||
Translation
Recognizing by the sound of his footsteps that Ravana meant to seize him by the hand, Vali, though facing the other way, caught hold of him as a bird seizes a snake.

grahītukāmaṃ taṃ gṛhya rakṣasāmīśvaraṃ hariḥ | khamutpapāta vegena kṛtvā kakṣāvalambinam || 7.34.21 ||
Translation
Grasping that lord of the rakshasas who himself wished to seize him, the monkey, having tucked him under his arm, sprang up into the sky with great speed.

taṃ cāpīḍayamānaṃ tu vitudantaṃ nakhairmuhuḥ | jahāra rāvaṇaṃ vālī pavanastoyadaṃ yathā || 7.34.22 ||
Translation
And though Ravana tormented him, repeatedly clawing at him with his nails, Vali carried him off as the wind carries away a rain-cloud.

atha te rākṣasāmātyā hriyamāṇaṃ daśānanam | mumokṣayiṣavo vāliṃ ravamāṇā abhidrutāḥ || 7.34.23 ||
Translation
Then the rakshasa ministers, wishing to free the Ten-faced one as he was being carried away, rushed after Vali, crying out.
अन्वीयमानस्तैर्वाली भ्राजते ऽम्बरमध्यगः । अन्वीयमानो मेघौघैरम्बरस्थ इवांशुमान् ।। 7.34.24 ।।
anvīyamānastairvālī bhrājate 'mbaramadhyagaḥ | anvīyamāno meghaughairambarastha ivāṃśumān || 7.34.24 ||
Translation
Followed by them, Vali shone as he coursed through the midst of the sky, like the sun in the heavens attended by masses of clouds.

te 'śaknuvantaḥ samprāptuṃ vālinaṃ rākṣasottamāḥ | tasya bāhūruvegena pariśrāntā vyavasthitāḥ || 7.34.25 ||
Translation
Those foremost of rakshasas, unable to overtake Vali, grew exhausted by the speed of his arms and thighs and came to a halt.
वालिमार्गादपाक्रामन्पर्वतेन्द्रो हि गच्छतः । किं पुनर्जीवितप्रेप्सुर्बिभ्रद्वै मांसशोणितम् ।। 7.34.26 ।।
vālimārgādapākrāmanparvatendro hi gacchataḥ | kiṃ punarjīvitaprepsurbibhradvai māṃsaśoṇitam || 7.34.26 ||
Translation
Even a mighty mountain would shrink back from the path of Vali as he went; how much more, then, one seeking to keep his life, made of mere flesh and blood?
अपक्षिगणसम्पातान्वानरेन्द्रो महाजवः । क्रमशः सागरान्सर्वान्सन्ध्याकालमवन्दत ।। 7.34.27 ।।
apakṣigaṇasampātānvānarendro mahājavaḥ | kramaśaḥ sāgarānsarvānsandhyākālamavandata || 7.34.27 ||

The great lord of the monkeys, of immense speed, swift beyond the flight of flocks of birds, reached all the oceans in turn and worshipped at the time of twilight.

Honored by the beings that move through the sky, Vali, the foremost of sky-travelers, came to the western ocean bearing Ravana with him.

bahuyojanasāhasraṃ vahamāno mahāhariḥ | vāyuvacca manovacca jagāma saha śatruṇā || 7.34.30 ||

Having performed the twilight worship at the northern ocean while still carrying the Ten-faced one, Vali then went to the great eastern sea.

tatrāpi sandhyāmanvāsya vāsaviḥ saharīśvaraḥ | kiṣkindhāmabhito gṛhya rāvaṇaṃ punarāgamat || 7.34.32 ||

There too, the son of Indra, lord of the monkeys, performed the twilight worship; then, taking Ravana, he came back round to Kishkindha.

Having performed the twilight worship at all four oceans, the monkey, weary from carrying Ravana, alighted in the grove near Kishkindha.

rāvaṇaṃ tu mumocātha svakakṣātkapisattamaḥ | kutastvamiti covāca prahasanrāvaṇaṃ muhuḥ || 7.34.34 ||

Then the foremost of the apes released Ravana from beneath his armpit, and laughing again and again he said to Ravana, "Where did you come from?"

vismayaṃ tu mahadgatvā śramalolanirīkṣaṇaḥ | rākṣasendro harīndraṃ tamidaṃ vacanamabravīt || 7.34.35 ||

Falling into great astonishment, his eyes rolling from exhaustion, the lord of the rakshasas spoke these words to that lord of the apes.
