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.
स लब्धसंज्ञोऽतिबलो मुष्टिं संगृह्य राक्षसः। अपहस्तेन चिक्षेप विसंज्ञः स पपात ह
Regaining consciousness, the mighty rakshasa gathered his fist and hurled it with his left hand; struck senseless, he collapsed.
तस्मिन् प्लवगशार्दूले विसंज्ञे पतिते भुवि। तच्छूलं समुपादाय सुग्रीवमभिदुद्रुवे
When that foremost monkey lay senseless, fallen to the ground, he seized his spear and rushed toward Sugriva.
तमापतन्तं सम्प्रेक्ष्य कुम्भकर्णं महाबलम्। उत्पपात तदा वीरः सुग्रीवो वानराधिपः
Seeing Kumbhakarna, of immense strength, charging, the heroic Sugriva, lord of the monkeys, leapt up.
स पर्वताग्रमुत्क्षिप्य समाविध्य महाकपिः। अभिदुद्राव वेगेन कुम्भकर्णं महाबलम्
The great monkey, lifting a mountain peak and whirling it, charged swiftly at Kumbhakarna, the mighty one.
तमापतन्तं सम्प्रेक्ष्य कुम्भकर्णः प्लवंगमम्। तस्थौ विवृत्तसर्वाङ्गो वानरेन्द्रस्य सम्मुखः
Seeing the monkey charging, Kumbhakarna stood before the monkey king, his whole body expanded.
कपिशोणितदिग्धाङ्गं भक्षयन्तं महाकपीन्। कुम्भकर्णं स्थितं दृष्ट्वा सुग्रीवो वाक्यमब्रवीत्
Seeing Kumbhakarna standing, his limbs smeared with monkey blood, devouring the great monkeys, Sugriva spoke.
पातिताश्च त्वया वीराः कृतं कर्म सुदुष्करम्। भक्षितानि च सैन्यानि प्राप्तं ते परमं यशः
You have slain heroes, accomplished a deed most difficult, and devoured the troops; you have attained the highest glory.
त्यज तद् वानरानीकं प्राकृतैः किं करिष्यसि। सहस्वैकं निपातं मे पर्वतस्यास्य राक्षस
Leave aside this monkey army; what will you do with ordinary ones? Endure alone the blow of this mountain from me, O rakshasa.
तद् वाक्यं हरिराजस्य सत्त्वधैर्यसमन्वितम्। श्रुत्वा राक्षसशार्दूलः कुम्भकर्णोऽब्रवीद् वचः
Hearing the words of the monkey king, filled with courage and resolve, Kumbhakarna, tiger among rakshasas, replied.
प्रजापतेस्तु पौत्रस्त्वं तथैवर्क्षरजःसुतः। धृतिपौरुषसम्पन्नस्तस्माद् गर्जसि वानर
You are the grandson of Prajapati and the son of Arka's dust; endowed with fortitude and valor, therefore you roar, O monkey.
