And like waters rushing (through a breach in) a dyke, the Rākşasas could not stand their ground, on their leader being slain. And on that head of the hosts being killed, the Rākşasas, growing dispirited, repairing to the residence of the lord of Rākşasa, remained plunged in thought, without speaking anything. And plunged in that sea of sorrow, they seemed as if they had been bereft of their senses.
न शेकुः समवस्थातुं निहते वाहिनीपतौ। सेतुबन्धं समासाद्य विशीणं सलिलं यथा॥ हते तस्मिंश्चमूमुख्ये राक्षसास्ते निरुद्यमाः। रक्षःपतिगृहं गत्वा ध्यानमूकत्वमागताः।। प्राप्ताः शोकार्णवं तीव्र विसंज्ञा इव तेऽभवन्।५८।।
