तत्तुश्रुत्वादशग्रीवःकुम्भकर्णस्यभाषितम् ।भ्रुकुटिंचैवसञ्चक्रेक्रुद्धश्चैनमभाषत ।।6.63.22।।
tat tu śrutvā daśagrīvaḥ kumbhakarṇasya bhāṣitam | bhrukuṭiṃ caiva sañcakre kruddhaś cainam abhāṣata ||6.63.22||

Kumbhakarna having spoken that way, the ten headed Ravana frowned, shaking his eyebrows in anger and spoke this way.
