Verse 23.67

आगच्छ राक्षसश्रेष्ठ वाक्यं शृणु मयोदितम्। यत्त्वया चोद्यतं वीर कुण्डलं मणिभूषितम्॥ एतद्धि पूर्वजस्यासीत्कर्णाभरणमीक्ष्यताम्। एतत्पतितवचैवमत्र भूमौ महाबल॥ अन्यत्पर्वतसानौ हि पतितं कुण्डलादनु। मुकुटं वेदिसामीप्ये पतितं युध्यतो भुवि॥

āgaccha rākṣasaśreṣṭha vākyaṃ śṛṇu mayoditam| yattvayā codyataṃ vīra kuṇḍalaṃ maṇibhūṣitam|| etaddhi pūrvajasyāsītkarṇābharaṇamīkṣyatām| etatpatitavacaivamatra bhūmau mahābala|| anyatparvatasānau hi patitaṃ kuṇḍalādanu| mukuṭaṃ vedisāmīpye patitaṃ yudhyato bhuvi||

English Meaning

"Do you come, O foremost of Raksasas and hear my words. O hero, the kundala, crested with jewels, which you did assay to take up, is an ornament for the ear of one my forefathers. This fell here on the ground, O you gifted with great strength; another kundala was thrown on the summit of the mountain. Besides these kundalas his crown was also cast off on the ground before the altar during the encounter.
