He saw the redoubtable and high-souled Kumbhakarņa, with his body drenched in blood, and with blood-shot eyes; rushing against all, like to an infuriated elephant of the cardinal points; pursuing the monkeys; wrought up with wrath; environed by Rakşasas; appearing like the Vindhya or the Mandara; decked with golden angadas; bleeding from his mouth; like clouds pouring showers; licking at the corners of his mouth laved with blood; smashing the monkeyranks; and resembling Yama the Destroyer.
स ददर्श महात्मानं किरीटिनमरिंदमम्। शोणितावृतरक्ताक्षं कुम्भकर्ण महाबलः॥ सर्वान्समभिधावन्तं यथारुष्टं दिशागजम्। मार्गमाणं हरीन्क्रुद्धं राक्षसैः परिवारितम्॥ विन्ध्यमन्दरसंकाशं काञ्चनाङ्गदभूषणम्। स्रवन्तं रुधिरं वक्त्राद्वर्ष मेघमिवोत्थितम्॥ जिह्वया परिलिह्यन्तं सृक्किणी शोणितोक्षिते। मृद्गन्तं वानरानीकं कालान्तकयमोपमम्॥
