Having in company with Sītā arrived at that forest abounding in terrible beasts, Kākutstha saw a man-eater, resembling a mountainsummit, emitting tremendous roars, with hollow eyes, a huge face, frightful, having a deformed belly, disgusting, dreadful, cyclopean, misshapen, of a horrible sight, clad in a tigerskin, besmeared with fat, covered with blood, capable of frightening all creatures, with his mouth widely extended, like to the Destroyer himself, and uttering loud shouts,-who stood piercing with his iron dart three lions, four tigers, two leopards, ten Prşatas, and the huge tusked head of an elephant dripping fat.
सीतया सह काकुत्स्थस्तस्मिन् घोरमृगायुते। ददर्श गिरिशृङ्गाभं पुरुषादं महास्वनम् ॥ गभीराक्षं महावक्त्रं विकटं विकटोदरम्। बीभत्सं विषमं दीर्घ विकृतं घोरदर्शनम्॥ वसानं चर्म वैयाघ्रं वसाट्टै रुधिरोक्षितम्। त्रासनं सर्वभूतानां व्यादितास्यमिदान्तकम्॥ त्रीन् सिंहाश्चतुरो व्याघ्रान् द्वौ वृकौ पृषतान् दश। सविषाणं वसादिग्धं गजस्य च शिरो महत्॥ अवसज्यायते शूले विनदन्तं महास्वनम्।
