इन्द्र की वज्र-आशनि के समान भयानक, वज्र-तुल्य भारी, देव-दानव-गन्धर्व-यक्ष और पन्नगों का संहारक—लाल मालाओं से युक्त, महान तेज से दीप्त, मानो स्वयं उससे अग्नि उठ रही हो, शत्रुओं के रक्त से रंजित उस तीक्ष्ण शूल को धारण कर महातेजस्वी कुम्भकर्ण ने रावण से कहा।
"You know me. I will get rid of your enmity killing the cruel minded Rama. Be fearless and happy now."
