अत्रागतः कदाचिद्वै कुम्भकर्णस्य राक्षसः ॥ मद्भोगं कृतवांस्तात प्रसह्य बलवान्पुरा ॥ ११॥

Once that powerful demon Kumbhakarṇa had been here. He caught me forcefully and enjoyed me.

लंकां स गतवान्मां च त्यक्त्वात्रैव महाबलः ॥ मया न दृष्ट्वा सा लंका ह्यत्रैव निवसाम्यहम् ॥ १२ ॥

That powerful demon left me here itself and returned to Laṅkā. That Laṅkā was not visited by me. I have been staying here alone.
