Each having his body bathed in sweat and his person covered with blood each choking and annulling the efforts of the other, and resembling a Sālmali or a Kinsuka, and dealing blows and slaps, and hitting with his arms and hands, those exceedingly strong ones, the lord of the Rākşasas and that of the monkeys, fought wonderfully.
परस्परं स्वेदविदिग्धगात्रौ परस्परं शोणितरक्तदेहौ। परस्परं श्लिष्टनिरुद्धचेष्टौ परस्परं शाल्मलिकिंशुकाविव।। मुष्टिप्रहारैश्च तलप्रहारैररनिघातैश्च कराग्रघातैः। तौ चक्रतुयुद्धमसह्यरूपं महाबलौ राक्षसवानरेन्द्रौ॥
