English Meaning
Having in company with Sītā arrived at that forest abounding in terrible beasts, Kākutstha saw a man-eater, resembling a mountainsummit, emitting tremendous roars, with hollow eyes, a huge face, frightful, having a deformed belly, disgusting, dreadful, cyclopean, misshapen, of a horrible sight, clad in a tigerskin, besmeared with fat, covered with blood, capable of frightening all creatures, with his mouth widely extended, like to the Destroyer himself, and uttering loud shouts,-who stood piercing with his iron dart three lions, four tigers, two leopards, ten Prşatas, and the huge tusked head of an elephant dripping fat.
