कुम्भकरन मन दीख बिचारी । हति छन माँझ निसाचर धारी ॥
भा अति क्रुद्ध महाबल बीरा । कियो मृगनायक-नाद गम्भीरा ॥
kumbhakarana mana dīkha bicārī | hati chana mām̐jha nisācara dhārī ||
bhā ati kruddha mahābala bīrā | kiyo mṛganāyaka-nāda gambhīrā ||

What happens in this chapter
Kumbhakarna's rage and Rama's piercing arrows
Kumbhakarna sees that his whole army was destroyed in an instant. Furious, he roars like a lion, tears up mountains and hurls them where the great monkey fighters stand. Shri Rama sees the peaks coming and turns them to dust with his arrows. Then, angered, he draws the bow and looses many terrible arrows. They enter Kumbhakarna's body and pass out again, like lightning flashing through a cloud. Blood runs down his black body like streams of red ochre down a mountain of lampblack. Seeing him shaken, the bears and monkeys rush in, but he laughs as they come near. With a great roar he seizes crores of them, dashes them on the ground like a king elephant, and swears by Ravana.
कोपि महीधर लेइ उपारी । डारइ जहँ मर्कट-भट-भारी ॥
आवत देखि सैल प्रभू भारे । सरन्हि काटि रज सम करि डारे ॥
kopi mahīdhara lei upārī | ḍārai jaham̐ markaṭa-bhaṭa-bhārī ||
āvata dekhi saila prabhū bhāre | saranhi kāṭi raja sama kari ḍāre ||
पुनि धनु तानि कोपि रघुनायक । छाँड़े अति कराल बहु सायक ॥
तन मह प्रबिसि निसरि सर जाहीँ । जनु दामिनि घन माझ समाहीं ॥
puni dhanu tāni kopi raghunāyaka | chām̐r̤e ati karāla bahu sāyaka ||
tana maha prabisi nisari sara jāhīm̐ | janu dāmini ghana mājha samāhīṃ ||
सोनित स्त्रवत सोह तन कारे । जनु कज्जल-गिरि गेरु पनारे ॥
बिकल बिलोकि भालु कपि धाये । बिहँसा जबहिँ निकट कपि आये ॥
sonita stravata soha tana kāre | janu kajjala-giri geru panāre ||
bikala biloki bhālu kapi dhāye | biham̐sā jabahim̐ nikaṭa kapi āye ||
महानाद करि गर्जा, कोटि कोटि गहि कीस ।
महि पटकई गजराज इव, सपथ करइ दससीस ॥
mahānāda kari garjā, koṭi koṭi gahi kīsa |
mahi paṭakaī gajarāja iva, sapatha karai dasasīsa ||
