Then they together set about waking up the slumbering Kumbhakarņa looking like a hill extended, and sunk in profound slumber; with his body having its down standing on end; lying down; like a sighing serpent; rolling people* with his powerful breath, reposing; possessed of dreadful prowess; having a huge nose; of a person vast as the nether sphere; lying stretched at length; smelling of fat and blood; decked with golden Angadas; and warning a diadem endowed with the splendour of the sun. And (they) saw that subduer of enemies and foremost of Nairtas-Kumbhakarna.
ते तु तं विकृतं सुप्तं विकीर्णमिव पर्वतम्। कुम्भकर्ण महानिद्रं समेताः प्रत्यबोधयन्॥ ऊर्ध्वलोमाञ्चिततनुं श्वसन्तमिव पन्नगम्। भ्रामयन्तं विनिःश्वासैः शयानं भीमविक्रमम्॥ भीमनासापुटं तं तु पातालविपुलाननम्। शयने न्यस्तसर्वाङ्ग मेदोरुधिरगन्धिनम्॥ काञ्चनाङ्गदनद्धाङ्गं किरीटेनार्कवर्चसम्। ददृशुर्नैर्ऋतव्याघ्र कुम्भकर्णमरिंदमम्॥
