स शूलमाविध्य तडित्प्रकाशं गिरिं यथा प्रज्वलिताग्निशृङ्गम्। बाह्वन्तरे मारुतिमाजघान गुहोऽचलं क्रौञ्चमिवोग्रशक्त्या
Then, piercing the mountain—its peak blazing like fire and flashing like lightning—with his spear, Kumbhakarna struck Hanuman between the arms, just as Guha struck the mighty Krauncha mountain with his fierce weapon.
स शूलनिर्भिन्नमहाभुजान्तरः प्रविह्वलः शोणितमुद्वमन् मुखात् । ननाद भीमं हनुमान् महाहवे युगान्तमेघस्तनितस्वनोपमम्
Hanuman, his great arms pierced by the spear, staggered, blood pouring from his mouth; in that terrible battle, he roared fiercely, his voice like the thunder of clouds at the end of an age.
ततो विनेदुः सहसा प्रहृष्टा रक्षोगणास्तं व्यथितं समीक्ष्य। प्लवंगमास्तु व्यथिता भयार्ताः प्रदुद्रुवुः संयति कुम्भकर्णात्
Then, seeing Hanuman distressed, the hosts of demons suddenly rejoiced and shouted, while the monkeys, stricken with fear, fled from Kumbhakarna on the battlefield.
ततस्तु नीलो बलवान् पर्यवस्थापयन् बलम्। प्रविचिक्षेप शैलाग्रं कुम्भकर्णाय धीमते
Then the mighty Nila rallied the troops and hurled a mountain peak at the wise Kumbhakarna.
तदापतन्तं सम्प्रेक्ष्य मुष्टिनाभिजघान ह। मुष्टिप्रहाराभिहतं तच्छैलाग्रं व्यशीर्यत। सविस्फुलिङ्गं सज्वालं निपपात महीतले
Seeing it rushing toward him, Kumbhakarna struck it with his fist; shattered by the blow, that mountain peak, blazing and sparking, fell to the earth.
ऋषभः शरभो नीलो गवाक्षो गन्धमादनः। पञ्च वानरशार्दूलाः कुम्भकर्णमुपाद्रवन्
Rishabha, Sharabha, Nila, Gavaksha, and Gandhamadana—five tiger-like monkeys—rushed at Kumbhakarna.
शैलैर्वृक्षैस्तलैः पादैर्मुष्टिभिश्च महाबलाः। कुम्भकर्णं महाकायं निजघ्नुः सर्वतो युधि
Those mighty ones struck the huge-bodied Kumbhakarna from all sides in battle with mountains, trees, palms, feet, and fists.
स्पर्शानिव प्रहारांस्तान् वेदयानो न विव्यथे। ऋषभं तु महावेगं बाहुभ्यां परिषस्वजे
Though feeling the blows as mere touches, he was not shaken; but he seized the swift Rishabha with his arms.
कुम्भकर्णभुजाभ्यां तु पीडितो वानरर्षभः। निपपातर्षभो भीमः प्रमुखागतशोणितः
Crushed in Kumbhakarna's arms, the mighty monkey Rishabha fell to the ground, blood pouring from his face.
मुष्टिना शरभं हत्वा जानुना नीलमाहवे। आजघान गवाक्षं तु तलेनेन्द्ररिपुस्तदा। पादेनाभ्यहनत् क्रुद्धस्तरसा गन्धमादनम्
Striking Sharabha with his fist, and Nila in battle with his knee, the enemy of Indra then struck Gavaksha with his palm, and in anger swiftly kicked Gandhamadana.
दत्तप्रहारव्यथिता मुमुहुः शोणितोक्षिताः। निपेतुस्ते तु मेदिन्यां निकृत्ता इव किंशुकाः
Wounded by the blows, drenched in blood, they lost consciousness and fell to the earth like severed kimshuka flowers.
तेषु वानरमुख्येषु पातितेषु महात्मसु। वानराणां सहस्राणि कुम्भकर्णं प्रदुद्रुवुः
When those foremost and great-souled monkeys had been struck down, thousands of monkeys fled from Kumbhakarna.
तं शैलमिव शैलाभाः सर्वे तु प्लवगर्षभाः। समारुह्य समुत्पत्य ददंशुश्च महाबलाः
All the mighty leaders of monkeys, resembling mountains themselves, climbed upon him, leapt up, and bit him.
तं नखैर्दशनैश्चापि मुष्टिभिर्बाहुभिस्तथा। कुम्भकर्णं महाबाहुं निजघ्नुः प्लवगर्षभाः
Those chief monkeys struck Kumbhakarna, the mighty-armed one, with their nails, teeth, fists, and arms.
स वानरसहस्रैस्तु विचितः पर्वतोपमः। रराज राक्षसव्याघ्रो गिरिरात्मरुहैरिव
Covered by thousands of monkeys, that tiger among rakshasas, resembling a mountain, shone like a mountain adorned with its own trees.
बाहुभ्यां वानरान् सर्वान् प्रगृह्य स महाबलः। भक्षयामास संक्रुद्धो गरुडः पन्नगानिव
Seizing all the monkeys with his arms, that mighty one, enraged, began to devour them like Garuda devours serpents.
प्रक्षिप्ताः कुम्भकर्णेन वक्त्रे पातालसंनिभे। नासापुटाभ्यां संजग्मुः कर्णाभ्यां चैव वानराः
Thrown by Kumbhakarna into his mouth, deep as the underworld, the monkeys emerged through his nostrils and ears.
भक्षयन् भृशसंक्रुद्धो हरीन् पर्वतसंनिभः। बभञ्ज वानरान् सर्वान् संक्रुद्धो राक्षसोत्तमः
Devouring the monkeys in great fury, that mountain-like, supreme rakshasa broke all the monkeys in his rage.
मांसशोणितसंक्लेदां कुर्वन् भूमिं स राक्षसः। चचार हरिसैन्येषु कालाग्निरिव मूर्च्छितः
That rakshasa, making the ground soaked with flesh and blood, moved among the monkey troops like deathly fire in a frenzy.
वज्रहस्तो यथा शक्रः पाशहस्त इवान्तकः। शूलहस्तो बभौ युद्धे कुम्भकर्णो महाबलः
Kumbhakarna, mighty in battle, shone with his spear in hand, like Indra with the thunderbolt or Antaka with the noose.
यथा शुष्काण्यरण्यानि ग्रीष्मे दहति पावकः। तथा वानरसैन्यानि कुम्भकर्णो ददाह सः
Just as fire burns dry forests in summer, so Kumbhakarna scorched the monkey armies.
ततस्ते वध्यमानास्तु हतयूथाः प्लवंगमाः। वानरा भयसंविग्ना विनेदुर्विकृतैः स्वरैः
Then, as the monkeys were being slain and their troops destroyed, the monkeys, terrified, cried out with distorted voices.
अनेकशो वध्यमानाः कुम्भकर्णेन वानराः। राघवं शरणं जग्मुर्व्यथिता भिन्नचेतसः
Many monkeys, being killed by Kumbhakarna, distressed and their minds shattered, sought refuge in Raghava.
प्रभग्नान् वानरान् दृष्ट्वा वज्रहस्तात्मजात्मजः। अभ्यधावत वेगेन कुम्भकर्णं महाहवे
Seeing the monkeys broken by the thunderbolt-handed one, the son of the son of the wind rushed swiftly at Kumbhakarna in the great battle.
शैलशृङ्गं महद् गृह्य विनदन् स मुहुर्मुहुः। त्रासयन् राक्षसान् सर्वान् कुम्भकर्णपदानुगान्
Seizing a great mountain peak and roaring repeatedly, he frightened all the rakshasas, followers of Kumbhakarna.
चिक्षेप शैलशिखरं कुम्भकर्णस्य मूर्धनि। स तेनाभिहतो मूर्ध्नि शैलेनेन्द्ररिपुस्तदा
He hurled the mountain summit at Kumbhakarna's head; struck on the head by the mountain, the enemy of Indra was hit.
कुम्भकर्णः प्रजज्वाल क्रोधेन महता तदा। सोऽभ्यधावत वेगेन वालिपुत्रममर्षणः
Then Kumbhakarna blazed with immense anger; furious, he rushed swiftly at Vali's son.
कुम्भकर्णो महानादस्त्रासयन् सर्ववानरान्। शूलं ससर्ज वै रोषादङ्गदे तु महाबलः
Kumbhakarna, with a great roar, terrified all the monkeys; in anger, he hurled his spear at the mighty Angada.
तदापतन्तं बलवान् युद्धमार्गविशारदः। लाघवान्मोक्षयामास बलवान् वानरर्षभः
As the powerful spear came flying, the mighty and skilled monkey chief, with agility, evaded it.
उत्पत्य चैनं तरसा तलेनोरस्यताडयत्। स तेनाभिहतः कोपात् प्रमुमोहाचलोपमः
Leaping up swiftly, he struck him on the chest with his palm; hit by that blow, he fell unconscious in anger, like a mountain.
