Ramayana 4.174a

Then Lakshman, bravest of the brave, Obeyed the hest that Rama gave, To whom devoting every thought The Vanar's royal town he sought. As Mandar's mountain heaves on high His curved peak soaring to the sky, So Lakshman showed, his dread bow bent Like Indra's(634) in the firmament. His brother's wrath, his brother's woe Inflamed his soul to fiercest glow. The tallest trees to earth were cast As furious on his way he passed, And where he stepped, so fiercely fleet, The stones were shivered by his feet. He reached Kishkindha's city deep Embosomed where the hills were steep, Where street and open square were lined With legions of the Vanar kind. Then, as his lips with fury swelled, The lord of Raghu's line beheld A stream of Vanar chiefs outpoured To do obeisance to their lord. But when the mighty prince in view Of the thick coming Vanars drew, They turned them in amaze to seize Crags of the rock and giant trees. He saw, and fiercer waxed his ire, As oil lends fury to the fire. Scarce had the Vanar chieftains seen That wrathful eye, that troubled mien Fierce as the God's who rules the dead, When, turned in wild affright, they fled. Speeding in breathless terror all Sought King Sugriva's council hall, And there made known their tale of fear, That Lakshman wild with rage, was near. The king, untroubled by alarms, Held Tara in his amorous arms, And in the distant bower with her Heard not each clamorous messenger. Then, summoned at the lords' behest Forth from the city portals pressed, Each like some elephant or cloud, The Vanars in a trembling crowd: Fierce warriors all with massive jaws And terrors of their tiger claws, Some matched ten elephants, and some A hundred's strength could overcome. Some chieftains, mightier than the rest, Ten times a hundred's force possessed. With eyes of fury Lakshman viewed The Vanars' tree-armed multitude. Thus garrisoned from side to side The city walls assault defied.
