YUDDHAKANDA
 
357
 
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 shorn 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 ।
लवङ्गमानां कोटयश्च परितस्संप्रधावताम् ॥
 
Then fell Kumbhakarna, crushing by his
body crores of monkeys fleeing all around.
 
कुम्भकर्ण हतं दृष्टा 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.
 
कुम्भकर्णवधाद्दीनो विललाप स रावणः ॥
