Hearing from them that the valiant monkeys, had in battle, killed Prahasta and the mighty bowman Dhumraksha together with (all) their forces, Ravana drawing a heavy sigh and rising from his excellent throne said, "The time for Kumbhakarna to act, is come."
श्रुत्वा तु रावणस्तेभ्यः प्रहस्तं निहतं युधि। धूम्राक्षं च महेष्वासं ससैन्यं वानरर्षभैः॥ सुदीर्घमिव निःश्वस्य समुत्पत्य वरासनात्। उवाच कुम्भकर्णस्य कर्मकालोऽयमागतः॥
