Chapter - 70– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – The description of the battle between Rama and Kumbhakarnna

 

Kumbhakarnna produced a loud roar and started to seize the Vanaras on their leg and thrashed them on the ground, like an untamed elephant. Immediately flocks of Vanaras fled into different directions like the herd of sheep disappears at the sight of wolves. Lord Mahadeva speaks “Oh! Bhavani, the Vanaras, and bears shrieked in terror, calling for help “Oh! Rama, Oh! Kharari, Oh! Pranatharththihari, Oh! Bhagavan, dispeller of grief, kindly protects us from the dreadful demons resemble famine that engulfs the kingdom, kindly protects us.” The moment Rama heard the pitiful cries of the Vanaras and bears, he rushed to the battleground wielded in bow and arrows, followed by several thousands of warriors. Rama showered multitudes of arrows aiming at the huge body of Kumbhakarnna were pierced his body and disappeared in the sky, he withered in pain and advanced in a great fury, the mountains and earth quivered while he was walking. Kumbhakarnna plucked a mountain and hurled against the Lord, but the arrows of Lord Raghu tore the mountain into pieces and cut off his both arms, resembled Mount Mandhara without wings, he cast a fierce look upon Lord Rama as if he was ready to devour the three spheres.
