# Lanka Kand · Doha 67

**चौ०** 
> कुंभकरन रन रंग बिरुद्धा। सन्मुख चला काल जनु क्रुद्धा॥  
> कोटि कोटि कपि धरि धरि खाई। जनु टीड़ी गिरि गुहाँ समाई॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> कोटिन्ह गहि सरीर सन मर्दा। कोटिन्ह मीजि मिलव महि गर्दा॥  
> मुख नासा श्रवनन्हि कीं बाटा। निसरि पराहिं भालु कपि ठाटा॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> रन मद मत्त निसाचर दर्पा। बिस्व ग्रसिहि जनु एहि बिधि अर्पा॥  
> मुरे सुभट सब फिरहिं न फेरे। सूझ न नयन सुनहिं नहिं टेरे॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> कुंभकरन कपि फौज बिडारी। सुनि धाई रजनीचर धारी॥  
> देखी राम बिकल कटकाई। रिपु अनीक नाना बिधि आई॥४॥

Meaning: Maddened with the lust of battle, Kumbhakarṇa marched against the enemy like Death himself furious with rage. He seized and devoured myriads of monkeys that looked like swarms of locusts entering a mountain cave. (1)

Seizing many more millions he crushed them against his body, and millions he levigated between his palms and mixed with the dust on the ground. Multitudes of bears and monkeys (swallowed by him) escaped through his mouth, nostrils and ears and ran away. (2)

Intoxicated with the frenzy of battle the demon stood in a challenging mood, as though the Creator had placed the whole universe at his disposal and he was going to devour it. All great warriors scuttled away from the battle-field and would not return under any persuasion whatsoever. They could neither see with their eyes nor hear any call. (3)

The demon host also sallied forth when they learnt that Kumbhakarṇa had dispersed the monkey army. Śrī Rāma saw the discomfiture of His forces and further perceived all kinds of enemy reinforcements pouring in. (4)

**दो०** 
> सुनु सुग्रीव बिभीषन अनुज सँभारेहु सैन।  
> मैं देखउँ खल बल दलहि बोले राजिवनैन॥६७॥

Meaning: “Listen, Sugrīva, Vibhīṣaṇa and Lakṣmaṇa, take care of the army while I test the might and man-power of this wretch,” said the lotus-eyed Lord. (67)
