What happens in this chapter
Kumbhakarna scatters the army and seizes Sugriva
Vibhishana returns to Shri Rama and reports that Kumbhakarna, huge as a mountain, is coming to fight. The monkeys rush out shrieking, tearing up trees and peaks and hurling them on him. Crores of mountain tops strike him at once, yet he does not flinch, any more than an elephant struck by the soft fruits of the ark plant. Hanuman punches him and he falls, dazed; then he rises and strikes Hanuman to the ground. He throws down Nala and Nila and dashes warriors about on every side. The monkey army flees in terror and no one will face him. Having knocked Angada and the others senseless along with Sugriva, he tucks the monkey king under his arm and walks off.
एतना कपिन्ह सुना जब काना । किलकिलाइ धाये बलवाना ॥
लिये उपारि बिटप अरु भूधर । कटकटाइ डारहिँ ता अपर ॥
etanā kapinha sunā jaba kānā | kilakilāi dhāye balavānā ||
liye upāri biṭapa aru bhūdhara | kaṭakaṭāi ḍārahim̐ tā apara ||
कोटि कोटि गिरि सिखर प्रहारा । कहिँ भालु कपि एकहि बारा ॥
मुर्यो न मन तनु टर्यो न टार्यो । जिमि गज अर्क-फलनि के मारे ॥
koṭi koṭi giri sikhara prahārā | kahim̐ bhālu kapi ekahi bārā ||
muryo na mana tanu ṭaryo na ṭāryo | jimi gaja arka-phalani ke māre ||
तब मारुतसुत मुठिका हन्यो । पर्यो धरनि ब्याकुल सिर धुन्यो ॥
पुनि उठि तेहिं मारेउ हनुमन्ता । घुर्मित भूतल परेउ तुरन्ता ॥
taba mārutasuta muṭhikā hanyo | paryo dharani byākula sira dhunyo ||
puni uṭhi tehiṃ māreu hanumantā | ghurmita bhūtala pareu turantā ||
पुनि नल नीलहि अवनि पछारेसि । जहँ तहँ पटकि पटकि भट डारेसि ॥
चली बलीमुख-सेन पराई । अति भय त्रसित न कोउ समुहाई ॥
puni nala nīlahi avani pachāresi | jaham̐ taham̐ paṭaki paṭaki bhaṭa ḍāresi ||
calī balīmukha-sena parāī | ati bhaya trasita na kou samuhāī ||
दो अङ्गदादि कपि मुरछित करि समेत सुग्रीव ।
काँख दावि कपिराज कहूँ, चला अमित-बल सी ॥
do aṅgadādi kapi murachita kari sameta sugrīva |
kām̐kha dāvi kapirāja kahūm̐, calā amita-bala sī ||
