ततस्तेनैव शोकेन गृधं दग्ध्वा जटायुषम्॥ मार्गमाणो वने सीतां राक्षसं संददर्श ह। कबन्धं नाम रूपेण विकृतं घोरदर्शनम्॥ तं निहत्य महाबाहुर्ददाह स्वर्गतश्च सः।
tatastenaiva śokena gṛdhaṃ dagdhvā jaṭāyuṣam|| mārgamāṇo vane sītāṃ rākṣasaṃ saṃdadarśa ha| kabandhaṃ nāma rūpeṇa vikṛtaṃ ghoradarśanam|| taṃ nihatya mahābāhurdadāha svargataśca saḥ|
English Meaning
Having with unassuaged sorrow burnt the vulture Jațāyu, as he was searching for Sità in that forest, he fell in with a Rākṣasa, Kabandha by name, of a dreadful and deformed shape. Having slain him, the mighty-armed one burnt his body,-and thereupon he went to heaven.
