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.
 

 
कुम्भकर्णं 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.
