Ater enacting the above padam, both Ravana and Mandodari are seated in a passionate embrace.  Ravana, then enacts the approach of Rishi Narada as follows:

 

First he feels a sudden brightness in the sky.  He thinks, what could it be.  The sun?  No, Son travels horizontally and not downwards.  The what?  The shining of a flaming fire?  No, it cannot be, the flames are always rising and not going down.  Oh! Am seeing a shape amidst the brightness, the shape of a human body, with illustrious mane, made up with ash (Bhasmam), with a Veena (guitar) in hands and singing praising Lord of the Worlds, Vishnu.  Oh, yes, that is Naradan coming. 

In fact, the above enactment is based on two verses taken from the Great Poetic Work called “Sisupalavadham” by Bhasa.

Realizing that Narada was coming to visit him, Ravana sends off Mandodari to the inner quarters and the scene is ended as if Ravana is expecting Narada.
