मनोहरं सर्वसुखं कारयामास राक्षसः । सर्वत्र सुखदं नित्यं मेरोः पुण्यां गुहामिव ॥ 7-13-6 ॥
The Rakshasa had it made enchanting and full of every comfort, everywhere and always granting delight, like a hallowed grotto of Mount Meru
english translation
तत्र निद्रां समाविष्टः कुम्भकर्णो महाबलः । बहून्यब्दसहस्राणि शयानो न प्रबुद्ध्यते ॥ 7-13-7 ॥
There the mighty Kumbhakarna, sunk in sleep, lay slumbering for many thousands of years and would not awaken.
english translation
निद्राभिभूते तु तदा कुम्भकर्णे दशाननः । देवर्षियक्षगन्धर्वान्सञ्जघ्ने हि निरङ्कुशः ॥ 7-13-8 ॥
While Kumbhakarna was thus overcome by sleep, Dashanana, unchecked by any restraint, went on slaying gods, sages, yakshas, and gandharvas.
english translation
उद्यानानि च चित्राणि नन्दनादीनि यानि च । तानि गत्वा सुसङक्रुद्धो भिनत्ति स्म दशाननः ॥ 7-13-9 ॥
And going to the wondrous pleasure-gardens, Nandana and the rest, Dashanana in his fury laid them waste.
english translation
नदीं गज इव क्रीडन्वृक्षान्वायुरिव क्षिपन् । नगान्व्रज्र इवोत्सृष्टो विध्वंसयति राक्षसः ॥ 7-13-10 ॥
Sporting in the rivers like an elephant, scattering trees as the wind does, and like a hurled thunderbolt against the mountains, the Rakshasa wrought destruction.
