English Meaning
Each having his body bathed in sweat and his person covered with blood each choking and annulling the efforts of the other, and resembling a Sālmali or a Kinsuka, and dealing blows and slaps, and hitting with his arms and hands, those exceedingly strong ones, the lord of the Rākşasas and that of the monkeys, fought wonderfully.
