What happens in this chapter
The monkeys cry for refuge; Kumbhakarna's arms fall
The bears and monkeys flee like sheep before a wolf. Shiva tells Bhavani how they ran crying: this rakshasa is a famine that will wipe out the land of monkeys; Rama, cloud of mercy, remover of the pain of those who bow, protect us. Hearing them, the Lord readies bow and arrows. He fixes a hundred arrows to the string, and they sink into Kumbhakarna's body. The giant charges, and the earth shakes. He uproots a hill; Rama cuts off that arm. He runs with a rock in his left hand; that arm too falls. Armless, like Mandara without wings, he rushes with jaws wide open, while devas and siddhas cry out in fear.
यह निसिचर दुकाल सम अहई । कपिकुल-देस परन अब चहई ॥
कृपा बारिधर राम खरारी । पाहि पाहि प्रनतारति-हारी ॥
yaha nisicara dukāla sama ahaī | kapikula-desa parana aba cahaī ||
kṛpā bāridhara rāma kharārī | pāhi pāhi pranatārati-hārī ||
सकरून बचन सुनत भगवाना । चले सुधारि सरासन बाना ॥
राम सेन निज पाछे घाली । चले सकोप महा बलसाली ॥
sakarūna bacana sunata bhagavānā | cale sudhāri sarāsana bānā ||
rāma sena nija pāche ghālī | cale sakopa mahā balasālī ||
खैंचि धनुष सर सत सन्धाने । छूटे तीर सरीर समाने ॥
लागत सर धावा रिस भरा । कुधर डगमगत डोलति धरा ॥
khaiṃci dhanuṣa sara sata sandhāne | chūṭe tīra sarīra samāne ||
lāgata sara dhāvā risa bharā | kudhara ḍagamagata ḍolati dharā ||
लीन्ह एक तेहिं सैल उपाटी । रघुकुल तिलक भुजा सोइ काटी ॥
धावा बाम बाहु गिरि धारी । प्रभु सोउ भुजा काटि महि पारी ॥
līnha eka tehiṃ saila upāṭī | raghukula tilaka bhujā soi kāṭī ||
dhāvā bāma bāhu giri dhārī | prabhu sou bhujā kāṭi mahi pārī ||
काटें भुजा सोह खल कैसा । पच्छहीन मन्दर गिरि जैसा ॥
उग्र बिलोकनि प्रभुहि बिलोका । असन चहत मानहुँ त्रेलोका ॥
kāṭeṃ bhujā soha khala kaisā | pacchahīna mandara giri jaisā ||
ugra bilokani prabhuhi bilokā | asana cahata mānahum̐ trelokā ||
करि चिक्कार बार अति, धावा बदन पसारि ।
गगन सिद्ध सुर त्रासित, हा हा होति पुकारि ॥
kari cikkāra bāra ati, dhāvā badana pasāri |
gagana siddha sura trāsita, hā hā hoti pukāri ||
