तं दृष्ट्वा पतितं भूमौ खड्गं मुसलसंनिभम्। मुष्टिं संवर्तयामास वज्रकल्पं महाबलः
Seeing him fallen on the earth, the mighty one clenched his fist, hard as a thunderbolt, like a sword or mace.
स ललाटे महावीर्यमङ्गदं वानरर्षभम्। आजघान महातेजाः स मुहूर्तं चचाल ह
The mighty and radiant Angada, foremost among the vanaras, was struck on the forehead by the great warrior, and for a moment he staggered.
स संज्ञां प्राप्य तेजस्वी वालिपुत्रः प्रतापवान्। प्रजङ्घस्य शिरः कायात् पातयामास मुष्टिना
Regaining consciousness, the valiant and illustrious son of Vali knocked Prajangha’s head from his body with his fist.
स यूपाक्षोऽश्रुपूर्णाक्षः पितृव्ये निहते रणे। अवरुह्य रथात् क्षिप्रं क्षीणेषुः खड्गमाददे
Yupaksha, his eyes filled with tears upon seeing his uncle slain in battle, swiftly descended from his chariot and, exhausted, took up his sword.
तमापतन्तं सम्प्रेक्ष्य यूपाक्षं द्विविदस्त्वरन्। आजघानोरसि क्रुद्धो जग्राह च बलाद् बली
Seeing Yupaksha rushing forward, Dwivida, quick and enraged, struck him on the chest and seized him forcefully.
गृहीतं भ्रातरं दृष्ट्वा शोणिताक्षो महाबलः। आजघान महातेजा वक्षसि द्विविदं ततः
Beholding his brother captured, Shonitaksha, mighty in strength, struck Dwivida, radiant in power, upon the chest.
स ततोऽभिहतस्तेन चचाल च महाबलः। उद्यतां च पुनस्तस्य जहार द्विविदो गदाम्
Then, struck by him, the powerful Dwivida staggered, and again snatched away the raised mace from his opponent.
एतस्मिन्नन्तरे मैन्दो द्विविदाभ्याशमागमत्। यूपाक्षं ताडयामास तलेनोरसि वीर्यवान्
Meanwhile, Mainda approached Dwivida, and, full of valor, struck Yupaksha on the chest with his palm.
तौ शोणिताक्षयूपाक्षौ प्लवंगाभ्यां तरस्विनौ। चक्रतुः समरे तीव्रमाकर्षोत्पाटनं भृशम्
Shonitaksha and Yupaksha, swift among the vanaras, fiercely engaged in intense pulling and tearing in the battle.
द्विविदः शोणिताक्षं तु विददार नखैर्मुखे। निष्पिपेष स वीर्येण क्षितावाविध्य वीर्यवान्
Dwivida tore Shonitaksha’s face with his nails, and, with his strength, crushed him and hurled him to the ground.
यूपाक्षमभिसंक्रुद्धो मैन्दो वानरपुङ्गवः। पीडयामास बाहुभ्यां पपात स हतः क्षितौ
Mainda, the foremost among vanaras, enraged at Yupaksha, squeezed him with his arms, and he fell slain to the earth.
हतप्रवीरा व्यथिता राक्षसेन्द्रचमूस्तथा। जगामाभिमुखी सा तु कुम्भकर्णात्मजो यतः
With their champions slain, the army of the rakshasa lord was distressed, and it turned to face the son of Kumbhakarna.
आपतन्तीं च वेगेन कुम्भस्तां सान्त्वयच्चमूम्। अथोत्कृष्टं महावीर्यैर्लब्धलक्षैः प्लवंगमैः
Kumbha, seeing the army advancing swiftly, consoled them, and then, with the vanaras of great valor who had found their mark, led them forward.
निपातितमहावीरां दृष्ट्वा रक्षश्चमूं तदा। कुम्भः प्रचक्रे तेजस्वी रणे कर्म सुदुष्करम्
Seeing the rakshasa army, its great warriors fallen, Kumbha, radiant in power, performed a deed in battle that was exceedingly difficult.
स धनुर्धन्विनां श्रेष्ठः प्रगृह्य सुसमाहितः। मुमोचाशीविषप्रख्याञ्छरान् देहविदारणान्
That master of archery, with utmost concentration, took up his bow and released arrows resembling venomous serpents, capable of rending bodies.
तस्य तच्छुशुभे भूयः सशरं धनुरुत्तमम्। विद्युदैरावतार्चिष्मद्द्वितीयेन्द्रधनुर्यथा
His excellent bow, adorned with arrows, shone brilliantly, like Indra’s bow, blazing with lightning and the radiance of Airavata.
आकर्णकृष्टमुक्तेन जघान द्विविदं तदा। तेन हाटकपुङ्खेन पत्रिणा पत्रवाससा
Drawing and releasing the golden-feathered, winged arrow, he struck Dwivida at that moment.
सहसाभिहतस्तेन विप्रमुक्तपदः स्फुरन्। निपपात त्रिकूटाभो विह्वलन् प्लवगोत्तमः
Struck suddenly by that arrow, Dwivida, his steps faltering, fell to the ground, trembling, like a mountain peak.
मैन्दस्तु भ्रातरं तत्र भग्नं दृष्ट्वा महाहवे। अभिदुद्राव वेगेन प्रगृह्य विपुलां शिलाम्
Mainda, seeing his brother broken in that great battle, rushed forward with speed, grasping a massive stone.
तां शिलां तु प्रचिक्षेप राक्षसाय महाबलः। बिभेद तां शिलां कुम्भः प्रसन्नैः पञ्चभिः शरैः
That mighty one hurled the rock at the Rākṣasa; Kumbha shattered that rock with five well-aimed arrows.
संधाय चान्यं सुमुखं शरमाशीविषोपमम्। आजघान महातेजा वक्षसि द्विविदाग्रजम्
Then, fitting another sharp arrow, resembling a venomous serpent, the radiant Kumbha struck the elder of Dvivida in the chest.
स तु तेन प्रहारेण मैन्दो वानरयूथपः। मर्मण्यभिहतस्तेन पपात भुवि मूर्च्छितः
Struck in a vital spot by that blow, Mainda, the leader of the monkeys, fell to the ground unconscious.
अङ्गदो मातुलौ दृष्ट्वा मथितौ तु महाबलौ। अभिदुद्राव वेगेन कुम्भमुद्यतकार्मुकम्
Seeing his two uncles, both mighty, struck down, Aṅgada rushed swiftly at Kumbha, who had his bow raised.
तमापतन्तं विव्याध कुम्भः पञ्चभिरायसैः। त्रिभिश्चान्यैः शितैर्बाणैर्मातंगमिव तोमरैः। सोऽङ्गदं बहुभिर्बाणैः कुम्भो विव्याध वीर्यवान्
Kumbha pierced the oncoming Aṅgada with five iron arrows, and with three other sharp shafts, like goads against an elephant; the valiant Kumbha struck Aṅgada with many arrows.
अकुण्ठधारैर्निशितैस्तीक्ष्णैः कनकभूषणैः। अङ्गदः प्रतिविद्धाङ्गो वालिपुत्रो न कम्पते
Though his limbs were pierced by sharp, keen arrows with unblunted edges and golden ornaments, Aṅgada, son of Vāli, did not waver.
शिलापादपवर्षाणि तस्य मूर्ध्नि ववर्ष ह। स प्रचिच्छेद तान् सर्वान् बिभेद च पुनः शिलाः
He rained down showers of rocks and trees upon Kumbha's head; but Kumbha cut them all down and shattered the rocks again.
कुम्भकर्णात्मजः श्रीमान् वालिपुत्रसमीरितान्। आपतन्तं च सम्प्रेक्ष्य कुम्भो वानरयूथपम्
Kumbha, son of Kumbhakarṇa, seeing the son of Vāli charging, hurled by the leader of the monkeys, gazed at him as he approached.
भ्रुवौ विव्याध बाणाभ्यामुल्काभ्यामिव कुञ्जरम्। तस्य सुस्राव रुधिरं पिहिते चास्य लोचने
With two arrows, like blazing meteors, Kumbha struck Aṅgada in the brows, as one might strike an elephant; blood flowed, and his eyes were covered.
अङ्गदः पाणिना नेत्रे पिधाय रुधिरोक्षिते। सालमासन्नमेकेन परिजग्राह पाणिना
Aṅgada, covering his blood-filled eyes with his hand, seized a nearby śāla tree with the other hand.
सम्पीड्योरसि सस्कन्धं करेणाभिनिवेश्य च। किंचिदभ्यवनम्यैनमुन्ममाथ महारणे
Gripping it with his hand, pressing it to his chest and shoulder, and bending slightly, he wrenched it up in the great battle.
