When the body of Kumbhakarna, who
was leaping up suddenly, was sundered
away by Rama, fiery sparks issued forth
from his angry face.

कुम्भकर्णशिरो भाति कुण्डलालङ्कृतं महत् ।
आदित्येऽभ्युदितेऽरात्रौ मध्यस्थ इव चन्द्रमाः ॥
 
The mighty head of Kumbhakarna
shone forth deprived as it was of the ear-
rings and appeared like the Moon seated
in the midst of the heavens on the rising
of the Sun in the morning.
 
न्यपतत् कुम्भकर्णोऽथ स्वकायेन निपातयन् ।
प्लवङ्गमानां कोट्यश्च परितस्संप्रधावताम् ॥
 
Then fell Kumbhakarna, crushing by
his body crores of monkeys fleeing all
around.
 
कुम्भकर्ण हतं दृष्ट्वा राघवेण महात्मना ।
राक्षसा राक्षसेन्द्राय रावणाय न्यवेदयन् ॥
 
Seeing Kumbhakarna killed by the
high-souled Raghava, the Rakshasas
informed Ravana, the king of the
Rakshasas of it.
 
म्भकर्णवधाद्दीनो विल्लाप स रावणः ॥
