If those two enemies of mine have been

released from the net-work of arrows,

then, I see that all this strength of mine

is indeed placed in peril.
 

 
निद्रा वशसमाविष्टः कुम्भकर्णो विबोध्यताम् ॥
 

Let Kumbhakarna, who is caught in the

grip of sleep, be awakened !
 

 
स तु संख्ये महाबाहुः ककुदस्सर्वरक्षसाम् ।

वानरान् राजपुत्रौ च क्षिप्रमेव वधिष्यति ॥
 

He, of mighty arms and foremost of all

the Rakshasas, will quickly kill in battle

the monkeys and both the princes."
 

 
ते रावणसमादिष्टा मांसशोणितभोजनाः ।

कुम्भकर्णं महानिद्रं सहिताः प्रत्यबोधयन् ॥
 

Those Rakshasas, eaters of flesh and

blood, being ordered by Ravana, together

awakened Kumbhakarna, the sound

sleeper.
 

 
ज़जृम्भमाणोऽतिबलः प्रतिबुद्धो निशाचरः ।

भ्रातुर्ववन्दे चरणौ किं कृत्यमिति चाब्रवीत् ॥
