jāsu calata ḍolati imi dharanī। caṛhata matta gaja jimi laghu taranī॥ soi rāvana jaga bidita pratāpī। sunehi na śravana alīka pralāpī॥ 4 ॥

Meaning

When I walk, the earth trembles as though a small boat were rocked by a charging mad elephant. I am that famous and valorous Ravana. O false prattler, have you never even heard of me?
