ಇಂದ್ರಾಶನಿಯಂತೆ ಭೀಕರ, ವಜ್ರದಂತೆ ಭಾರವಂತ, ದೇವ-ದಾನವ-ಗಂಧರ್ವ-ಯಕ್ಷ-ಪನ್ನಗ ಸಂಹಾರಕ; ರಕ್ತಮಾಲ್ಯದಿಂದ ಶೋಭಿತ, ಮಹಾಧಾಮಮಯ, ಸ್ವತಃ ಅಗ್ನಿಯಂತೆ ಜ್ವಲಿಸುವ, ಶತ್ರುರಕ್ತದಿಂದ ರಂಜಿತವಾದ ಆ ತೀಕ್ಷ್ಣ ಶೂಲವನ್ನು ಹಿಡಿದು ಮಹಾತೇಜಸ್ವಿ ಕುಂಭಕರ್ಣನು ರಾವಣನಿಗೆ ಮಾತಾಡಿದನು.
"You know me. I will get rid of your enmity killing the cruel minded Rama. Be fearless and happy now."
The repetition underscores the epic theme that spectacular power can seduce the mind; Dharma requires truth-guided judgment rather than being carried away by might.
This is a repeated/overlapping description in the Southern Recension, again introducing Kumbhakarṇa’s armed readiness before his speech.
Overwhelming strength and fearlessness are emphasized.
