Prabho, he is Kumbhakarnna who possessed huge body and might resemble a mountain.” Immediately the whole Vanaras and bears rushed to the battlefield with rocks and huge trees on their hands, roaring in great enthusiasm, crunching their teeth and, banging their fist. They began to hurl the trees and rocks on Kumbhakarnna, but he stood firm and untiring like the elephant was thrown on with the several banana plants.
