Nang makita nila ang dakilang laki ng katawang iyon, inakala ng mga vānarā: “Si Kumbhakarṇa ito na muling bumangon.” Sa matinding takot, silang lahat ay nagdikit-dikit at nagkapit-bisig sa isa’t isa.
Those Vanaras seeing the huge body thought, "This is Kumbhakarna, who has got up and come'. Out of fear, they sought the help of one another.
