Seeing his brother felled by Sugrīva, Nikumbha, as if burning with rage, looked at the lord of the monkeys.

6.77.3
हेमपट्टपरिक्षिप्तं वज्रविद्रुमभूषितम्।
यमदण्डोपमं भीमं रक्षसां भयनाशनम् ॥ ६.७७.३ ॥
Encircled with gold bands, adorned with diamonds and coral, terrible like Yama's staff, destroyer of the fear of the rākṣasas.
6.77.4
तमाविध्य महातेजाः शक्रध्वजसमौजसम्।
निननाद विवृत्तास्यो निकुम्भो भीमविक्रमः ॥ ६.७७.४ ॥
Whirling that club, equal in force to Indra's banner, the greatly brilliant Nikumbha of terrible valour roared with mouth wide open.

with the gold chain worn on his chest, the armlets on his arms, the two bright earrings, and the variegated garland.

यथेन्द्रधनुषा मेघः सविद्युत्स्तनयित्नुमान् ॥ ६.७७.६ ॥
Nikumbha shone with his ornaments and that club, like a cloud with Indra's bow, lightning, and thunder.

प्रजज्वाल सघोषश्च विधूम इव पावकः ॥ ६.७७.७ ॥
With the tip of the iron club the knot of wind of the great-souled one burst open, and with a roar he blazed up like a smokeless fire.

सतारागणनक्षत्रं सचन्द्रसमहाग्रहम्।
निकुम्भपरिघाघूर्णं भ्रमतीव नभस्थलम् ॥ ६.७७.८ ॥
With its trees, the city, its finest Gandharva mansions, the host of stars and constellations, the moon and great planets, the sky seemed to reel, whirled by Nikumbha's club.
6.77.9
दुरासदश्च संजज्ञे परिघाभरणप्रभः।
क्रोधेन्धनो निकुम्भाग्निर्युगान्ताग्निरिवोत्थितः ॥ ६.७७.९ ॥
Radiant with the iron club as his ornament, he became hard to approach; Nikumbha, a fire fed by rage, rose up like the fire at the end of the age.
6.77.10
राक्षसा वानराश्चापि न शेकुः स्पन्दितुं भयात्।
हनुमांस्तु विवृत्योरस्तस्थौ प्रमुखतो बली ॥ ६.७७.१० ॥
The rākṣasas and vānaras too could not move for fear; but Hanumān, the mighty one, stood before them with his chest bared.
6.77.11
परिघोपमबाहुस्तु परिघं भास्करप्रभम्।
बली बलवतस्तस्य पातयामास वक्षसि ॥ ६.७७.११ ॥
Hanumān, the mighty one whose arms were like iron clubs, hurled the club, bright as the sun, down upon the chest of that powerful one.
6.77.12
स्थिरे तस्योरसि व्यूढे परिघः शतधा कृतः।
विकीर्यमाणः सहसा उल्काशतमिवाम्बरे ॥ ६.७७.१२ ॥
Striking squarely against his firm chest, the club was shattered into a hundred pieces, scattering suddenly across the sky like a hundred meteors.
6.77.13
स तु तेन प्रहारेण न चचाल महाकपिः।
परिघेण समाधूतो यथा भूमिचलेऽचलः ॥ ६.७७.१३ ॥
But from that blow the great monkey did not move, as a mountain does not stir when shaken in an earthquake.
6.77.14
स तथाभिहतस्तेन हनूमान् प्लवगोत्तमः।
मुष्टिं संवर्तयामास बलेनातिमहाबलः ॥ ६.७७.१४ ॥
Struck thus by him, Hanumān, best of monkeys, of immense might, clenched his fist with force.
6.77.15
तमुद्यम्य महातेजा निकुम्भोरसि वीर्यवान्।
अभिचिक्षेप वेगेन वेगवान् वायुविक्रमः ॥ ६.७७.१५ ॥
The great-splendored, mighty one, swift as the wind in valor, raised it and hurled it with speed onto Nikumbha's chest.

मुष्टिना तेन संजज्ञे मेघे विद्युदिवोत्थिता ॥ ६.७७.१६ ॥
There his armour burst, and blood flowed forth; from that fist-blow he appeared like lightning risen in a cloud.
6.77.17
स तु तेन प्रहारेण निकुम्भो विचचाल च।
स्वस्थश्चापि निजग्राह हनूमन्तं महाबलम् ॥ ६.७७.१७ ॥
Struck by that blow, Nikumbha reeled; yet recovering himself, he seized the mighty Hanumān.

निकुम्भेनोद्यतं दृष्ट्वा हनूमन्तं महाबलम् ॥ ६.७७.१८ ॥
Then the dwellers of Laṅkā cried out in terror, seeing Nikumbha raise the mighty Hanumān.
6.77.19
स तथा ह्रियमाणोऽपि हनूमांस्तेन रक्षसा।
आजघानानिलसुतो वज्रकल्पेन मुष्टिना ॥ ६.७७.१९ ॥
Though he was being dragged away by that rākṣasa, Hanumān, son of the wind, struck him with a fist like a thunderbolt.
6.77.20
आत्मानं मोक्षयित्वाथ क्षितावभ्यवपद्यत।
हनूमानुन्ममाथाशु निकुम्भं मारुतात्मजः ॥ ६.७७.२० ॥
Freeing himself, he came down to the earth, and Hanumān, son of the wind, quickly toppled Nikumbha.
6.77.21
निक्षिप्य परमायत्तो निकुम्भं निष्पिपेष च।
उत्पत्य चास्य वेगेन पपातोरसि वेगवान् ॥ ६.७७.२१ ॥
Hurling Nikumbha down and exerting himself fully, he crushed him; then leaping up with speed, the swift one fell upon his chest.
6.77.22
परिगृह्य च बाहुभ्यां परिवृत्य शिरोधराम्।
उत्पाटयामास शिरो भैरवं नदतो महत् ॥ ६.७७.२२ ॥
Seizing him with both arms and twisting his neck, he tore off the head of the one roaring terribly.
6.77.23
अथ निनदति सादिते निकुम्भे
पवनसुतेन रणे बभूव युद्धम्।
दशरथसुतराक्षसेन्द्रसून्वो-
र्भृशतरमागतरोषयोः सुभीमम् ॥ ६.७७.२३ ॥
Then, when the roaring Nikumbha was slain, a most terrible battle arose on the field between the son of the wind and the son of Daśaratha and the son of the lord of the rākṣasas, all of them greatly roused to anger.
6.77.24
व्यपेते तु जीवे निकुम्भस्य हृष्टा
विनेदुः प्लवंगा दिशः सस्वनुश्च।
चचालेव चोर्वी पपातेव सा द्यौ-
र्बलं राक्षसानां भयं चाविवेश ॥ ६.७७.२४ ॥
When Nikumbha's life had departed, the monkeys, rejoicing, roared and the quarters resounded. The earth seemed to tremble and the sky to fall, and fear entered the army of the rākṣasas.
