released from the net-work of arrows,
then, I see that all this strength of mine
is indeed placed in peril.
 
YUDDHAKANDA
 
निद्रावसमाविष्टः कुम्भकर्णो विवोध्यताम् ॥
 
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 ।
कुम्भकर्ण महानिद्रं सहिताः प्रत्यबोधयन् ॥
 
Those Rakshasas, eaters of flesh and
blood, being ordered by Ravana, together
awakened Kumbhakarna, the sound sleeper.
 
स जृम्भमाणोऽतिबलः प्रतिबुद्धो निशाचरः ।
भ्रातुर्ववन्दे चरणौ कि कृत्यमिति चात्रवीत् ॥
