व्याघूर्णिततरङ्गश्च चुक्षुभे वरुणालयः ॥ ६.७६.८३ ॥
By the blows of their feet the earth sank down, and the ocean, the abode of Varuṇa, its waves tossed and whirling, was thrown into turmoil.
6.76.84
ततः कुम्भं समुत्क्षिप्य सुग्रीवो लवणाम्भसि।
पातयामास वेगेन दर्शयन्नुदधेस्तलम् ॥ ६.७६.८४ ॥
Then Sugrīva lifted up Kumbha and with force hurled him down into the salt waters, laying bare the bed of the ocean.
6.76.85
ततः कुम्भनिपातेन जलराशिः समुत्थितः।
विन्ध्यमन्दरसंकाशो विससर्प समन्ततः ॥ ६.७६.८५ ॥
Then, by the striking down of the pot, a mass of water rose up, like the Vindhya and Mandara mountains, and spread out on all sides.
6.76.86
ततः कुम्भः समुत्पत्य सुग्रीवमभिपात्य च।
आजघानोरसि क्रुद्धो वज्रकल्पेन मुष्टिना ॥ ६.७६.८६ ॥
Then Kumbha, enraged, leapt up, struck down Sugrīva, and hit him on the chest with a fist like a thunderbolt.
6.76.87
तस्य वर्म च पुस्फोट संजज्ञे चापि शोणितम्।
तस्य मुष्टिर्महावेगः प्रतिजघ्नेऽस्थिमण्डले ॥ ६.७६.८७ ॥
His armour burst, and blood flowed; and Sugrīva's fist of great force struck back into the bony region.
6.76.88
तस्य वेगेन तत्रासीत् तेजः प्रज्वलितं महत्।
वज्रनिष्पेषसंजाता ज्वाला मेरोर्यथा गिरेः ॥ ६.७६.८८ ॥
By its force a great blazing radiance arose there; the flame born of the thunderbolt's crushing was like Mount Meru.
6.76.89
स तत्राभिहतस्तेन सुग्रीवो वानरर्षभः।
मुष्टिं संवर्तयामास वज्रकल्पं महाबलः ॥ ६.७६.८९ ॥
There, struck by him, Sugrīva, bull among monkeys and of great strength, drew back his fist, which was like a thunderbolt.
6.76.90
अर्चिःसहस्रविकचरविमण्डलवर्चसम्।
स मुष्टिं पातयामास कुम्भस्योरसि वीर्यवान् ॥ ६.७६.९० ॥
With a fist radiant as the sun's disc with a thousand opened rays, that mighty one brought it down on the chest of Kumbha.
6.76.91
स तु तेन प्रहारेण विह्वलो भृशपीडितः।
निपपात तदा कुम्भो गतार्चिरिव पावकः ॥ ६.७६.९१ ॥
Stunned and greatly pained by that blow, Kumbha then fell, like a fire whose flame has gone out.
6.76.92
मुष्टिनाभिहतस्तेन निपपाताशु राक्षसः।
लोहिताङ्ग इवाकाशाद् दीप्तरश्मिर्यदृच्छया ॥ ६.७६.९२ ॥
Struck by that blow of the fist, the rākṣasa swiftly fell, like a red-bodied, blazing planet dropping from the sky by its own course.
6.76.93
कुम्भस्य पततो रूपं भग्नस्योरसि मुष्टिना।
बभौ रुद्राभिपन्नस्य यथा रूपं गवां पतेः ॥ ६.७६.९३ ॥
The form of Kumbha falling, broken on the chest by the fist, appeared like the form of the lord of cattle struck by Rudra.
6.76.94
तस्मिन् हते भीमपराक्रमेण
प्लवंगमानामृषभेण युद्धे।
मही सशैला सवना चचाल
भयं च रक्षांस्यधिकं विवेश ॥ ६.७६.९४ ॥
When he was slain in battle by the bull among the monkeys, of terrible valour, the earth with its mountains and forests trembled, and great fear entered the rākṣasas.
