tataḥ then, balīyasām huge army, abhisañjātarōṣāṇām of redoubtable prowess, prahastam Prahastha, abhigarjatām roaring, vānarāṇām Vanaras, mahatī powerful, sēnā army, niryāntam coming towards, bhīmam fierce, bhīmaparākramam of terrific prowess, rākṣasaiḥ Rakshasas, abhisamvṛtam surrounded, prahastam Prahastha, dadarśa saw.

narāntakaḥ Naranthaka, kumbhahanuḥ Kumbhahanu, mahānādaḥ Mahanada, samunnataḥ Samunnata, prahastasacivāḥ Prahastha's associates, ētēsarvē all these, vanaukasaḥ monkeys, jaghnuḥ made short work.

kapiḥ monkey, durmukhaḥpunaḥ Dhurmukha, savipuladrumam uprooting a huge tree, utthāya taking hold of, kṣiprahastam in his hand, rākṣasam Rakshasa, samunnatam Samunnata, apōthayat killed.

atha and then, tatra there, vīryavān valiant one, kumbhahanuḥ Kumbhahanu, tārēṇa by Tara, raṇē in war, āsādya closed with, abhihataḥ attacked, vṛkṣēṇa by tree, mūrdhni on the head, prāṇān life, santyājayat ceased.

tadā then, āvartē revolving, kṣubhitasya agitated, apramēyasya boundless, sāgarasyaiva like an ocean, ubhayōḥ both, sēnayōḥ armies, niḥsvanaḥ sound, sañjajñē was frightening.

vānarāṇām of Vanaras, rākṣasānāṅca and Rakshasas, ghōraiḥ dreadful, śarīraiḥ bodies, aticitā strewn, mēdinī the earth, parvataiḥ mountains, patitaiḥiva like fallen, babhūva seemed.

hatavīraghavasrām heaps of slain leaders as banks, bhagnāyudhamahādrumām broken weapons for large trees, śōṇitaughamahātōyām torrents of blood as vast stretch of water, yamasāgaragāminīm rushing towards, yakṛt plīhamahāpaṅkām livers and spleens its mire, nvikīrṇāndraśaivalām scattered entrails for its duckweeds, bhinnakāyaśirōmīnām severed trunks and heads for its fish, aṅgāvayavaśādvalām parts of limbs as grass, gṛdhrahaṅsagaṇākīrṇām crowded with swans in the form of vultures, kaṅkasārasasēvitām frequented with cranes in the shape of buzzards, mēdaḥphēnasamākīrṇam overspread with f at in the form of foam, āsntintisvanām groans of the wounded for its murmur, kāpuruṣadustārām difficult to cross for the cowards, ghanāpāyē at the end of monsoon, haṅsasārasasēvitām frequented by swans and cranes, nadīmiva like river, tām them, yuddhabhūmimayīm battlefield, nadīm river, tērākṣasāḥ those Rakshasas, padmarajōdhvastām lotus pond covered with lotuses, naḷinīm lotuses, gajayūthapāḥyathā like leaders of herds of elephants, tēruḥ would cross, dustarām difficult, tāṅnadīm that river, kapimukhyāḥ Vanara leaders, tēruḥ crossed.

khē sky, balāt violent, uddhūtaḥ blowing, vāyuḥ wind, mahat great, abhrabalam mass of clouds, yuddhē in war, abhidrutam swiftly coming, samīkṣya observing, ādityavarṇēna bright as the colour of the sun, rathēna on chariot, vāhinīpatiḥ commander of army, prahastaḥ Prahastha, nīlamēva towards Nila, abhidudruvē darted.

samāhitāḥ adjusted, ruṣitāḥ infuriated, pannagāḥiva like serpents, mahāvēgāḥ at great speed, tēviśikhāḥ it penetrated into, nīlam Nila's, prētya having departed, vinirbhidya straight, mahīṅ earth, jagmuḥ pierced.

tēna by that, abhihataḥ having been struck, saḥrākṣasapuṅgavaḥ that Rakshasa leader, kruddhaḥ became furious, nadan roaring, plavaṅgānām monkeys, camūpatau bull among Rakshasas, śaravarṣāṇi rain of arrows, vavarṣa showered.

śīghram quickly, āgatam downpour, śāradam autumnal, varṣam rain, gōvṛṣaḥ mighty bull, yathaiva in the same way, ēvamēva precisely, nīlaḥ Nila, prahastasya Prahastha's, durāsadam difficult to face, sahasā fierce, śaravarṣam rain of arrows, nimīlitākṣaḥ with eyes closed, sēhē tolerated.

tataḥ thereupon, saḥ he, cāpam bow, udgṛhya firmly holding, mahābalaḥ mighty, prahastasya Prahastha's, babhañja broke, punaḥ again, punaḥ and again, nanādaca roared

jātavairau deadly enemies, tarasvinau strong, tau they, ubhau both, vāhinīmukhyau Commander-in-Chief of army, kṣatajagadigdāṅgau their limbs wetted with blood, prabhinnau disfigured, kuñjarauiva like elephants, sthitau stood.

tadā then, saḥprahastaḥ Prahastha, paramāyattaḥ speedily, musalēna with mallet, nīlam Neela, lalāṭē forehead, ājaghāna struck, tataḥ then, śōṇitam blood, susrāva flowed.

saḥ he, tam that, prahāram wound, acintya not caring, mahat huge, musalam mallet, pragṛhya taking hold, balinam strong, plavaṅgamam monkey, nīlam Neela, balāt courageous, abhidudrāva went towards.

nīlaḥ Neela, śilām rock, yuddhābhikāmasya desiring to fight, mṛthē forehead, musalayōdhinaḥ mallet, tasyaprahastasya that Prahastha's, mūrdhni forehead, tūrṇam quickly, apātayat dropped.

gatāsuḥ life gone, gataśrīkaḥ splendour gone, gatasattvaḥ strength gone, gatēndriyaḥ senses gone, saḥ he, chinnamūlaḥ tree at the bottom, drumaḥiva like tree, sahasā instantly, bhūmau on ground, papāta fell.

nīlēna by Neela, prahastē Prahastha, hatē having been killed, ahṛṣṭānām cheerless, rākṣasānām of Rakshasas, akampyam unshakeable, tat balam that troops, laṅkām from Lanka, abhijagāmaha could not stay there.

camūmukhyē Commander-in-Chief, tasmin his, hatē killed, tērākṣasāḥ those Rakshasas, nirudyamāḥ reduced to, rakṣaḥpatigṛham abode of the Lord, gatvā went, dhyanamūkatvam speechless, āgatāḥ became, tē they, visaṅjñāḥiva without consciousness, abhavan remained.
