"ऽनन्तं मोपेक्षिषथ च मा न कष्टं मिहाऽऽदरम् । |
Yaksas (Kubera); none overpowered him. Not that you two princes need not be afraid of this Kumbhakarna.”
41. Do not disregard him who hits; don't you have no regard for this one. Do not hesitate to kill him. Thus Rama spoke to the monkeys.
42. They chattered, challenged the demon and also jumped, exhibited their own powers, (and) hurled (at him) a number of trees and boulders.
43. They crowded (around him), crushed him with the feet, so also tore him with the teeth ; Sarabha tried to pick up a tree ; Nila however, took up a boulder.
44. Rsabha hurled boulders ; with those they thrashed the enemy; Gandhamadana thundered and discharged the summit of a mountain.
45. Gavaksa frolicked and dispersed many boulders; that brave Kumbhakarna did not heed them, nor was he hurt.
46. And he harassed the enemy's army and hopped about unrestricted and hastened to kill the enemies and devoured those that came near his lap.
