In the interim, O Rāma, a Rākşasa, Sumāli, by name, getting enraged, and with diverse weapons, ran amok of the soldiery. As the winds scatter clouds, so he, under the influence of rage, with various sharpened weapons, committed a havoc among the celestial soldiers.
एतस्मिन्नन्तरे राम सुमाली नाम राक्षसः। नानाप्रहरणैः क्रुद्धस्तत्सैन्यं सोऽभ्यवर्तत॥ स दैवतबलं सर्वं नानाप्रहरणैः शितैः। व्यध्वंसयत संक्रुद्धो वायुर्जलधरं यथा॥
